Holiday Fun at School

We did tons of activities at school for the holidays! It was so fun!
We did some bow painting 
We had a "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" day where we all wore green,
watched the movie,
and had some delicious green 'grinch' treats! 
We made Santa hats... 
My FAVORITE was "Polar Express" day!
We decorated our own train cars... 
got golden tickets, 
watched the movie, 
and had some hot chocolate! 
We decorated ice cream cones into Christmas trees 

and also decorated cookies 
The best thing of all is this super hero cape that my teacher gave us for our present! It is SOOO cool! My teacher is AWESOME!!! 

Holiday Visit to Crown Center

We took our annual holiday visit to Union Station. We lucked out and only waited 10 minutes in line to see Santa. Then we got to go through the Holiday Express train and later to the model train exhibit - my favorite!!
Inside the train...
It was REALLY cold outside, so we didn't stay out long
The inside was just beautiful as always!
We even rode the train! It was SOOO fun!
Kalia says, "Let's go back for more!"

Family Day at the Zoo

Dad & Mom gave me a "Beckett Day" for my birthday. On this day, I got to pick 3 things that I wanted to do. The first thing we did was went out for breakfast at Winstead's. I got lots of bacon (my favorite!) and it was delicious! The 2nd thing I picked was to go to the zoo. Mom & Dad were glad that it was supposed to be almost 60 degrees that day, plus it was the holiday season, so while everyone else was out doing holiday stuff, we were practically the only ones at the zoo! Yay! Here are a few pictures from our day:

We got to the zoo just as Santa was going to swim with the penguins so we jumped in line for a photo. Kalia was going to join me, but she got scared of Santa.
We hung out and watched the penguins for a while. This is my most favorite animal so I like to spend lots of time playing with them. 
We watched the sea lion exhibit too. They showed us how they train them to do tricks. 
We actually got to ride the train too! I was sooo excited!! 
Usually, the line is WAY too long to wait. 
We got on the train and it was playing the Polar Express song!
Afterward, I got to look at the engine and ring the bell! 
My 3rd request for the day was to watch Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer movie. That's my favorite this time of year, so we had movie night with popcorn!
 
It was an AWESOME day!

November 2014

 We love to play with our pumpkins!
 
 We went to my friend Harper's house instead of school one day.
 We had lots of fun playing...
 and doing counting activities
Kalia loved baby Graham! 
 Mom says it's REALLY hard to get a decent picture of Kalia these days...she doesn't sit still much anymore, but she happened to catch these few.
 These are the turkey hand treats Mom and I made for school snacks. They were lots of fun!
