Relaxing...

Putting new puzzles together!

The Kellybrook holiday staff party was at WoodChux, where you do ax throwing. Needless to say, it was a blast!

Brian had a few frustrations to get out...

Candy cane friends at dance class

Our annual drive to look at lights with fresh, warm cookies and hot chocolate!

The WINNER over all other houses!!

Mug cake deliciousness!

What Kalia makes for breakfast: yogurt parfait with fruit, honey and granola

Kalia received a ton of craft kits for Christmas...here are ALL the projects she completed over break!

Main Event during Christmas Break

It was winter break, and we hadn't left the house in almost 3 days...so we went to Main Event to have some fun bowling, laser tag, ropes course and arcade games.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Kalia was finally tall enough to do the ropes course. She did the zip line without even pausing!

What we're doing in school...

Learning about economics - someone from Edward Jones came to speak about investing. 

Gingerbread houses! 

Thanksgiving Weekend in Nebraska

On our way to NE...trying to relax & take a nap 

Kalia was so excited to tell Gramma that she was practicing sewing buttons! Gramma got some fabric out for her to have. She selected some fuzzy fabric and decided to make a scarf. Here she's pinning the sides... 

Kalia was learning how to use the pedal while guiding the fabric through

Then was able to do it all by herself! 

Making angel biscuits 

The traditional Lego tower!

This was Kalia's SECOND piece of apple pie! 

The next day, Dad brought me to the NE vs IA game as part of my birthday present.

It was lots of fun but rainy and chilly! 

Kalia and Mom were at her cousin, Erin's house watching the game and staying nice & warm.
