Freedman Christmas. . . . in January

We celebrated Christmas with the Freedmans a little late this year (Jan 21st) but we had a good time getting together with Grandma Marilyn, Suzie, Jason, Tom & Abby.  The kids are getting along really well and having a lot of fun together.

Amelia's Half Birthday

As Amelia's birthday falls during the school holidays, she celebrated her half-birthday at preschool this week.  Kate got to go and spend the day with Amelia.  It was also "Spirit Day", so the kids all wore their school shirts and sang cheers at the beginning of the day.

The sound gets a bit iffy. . . we need to switch cameras for video.  The picture of is of her sitting on the Birthday Chair.

Christmas

We had a nice Christmas with family.  Grandma Becky, Grandpa Jim, Uncle Mark, and Raf came from Minnesota and Grandma Marilyn was in town to help celebrate.  Amelia had a great time with lots of presents.  The picture with Amelia and cookies and carrots is what she left for Santa and the Reindeer.  The video is of her coming down the stairs on Christmas morning.  Otherwise the pictures are of Christmas Day festivities. 

We have masses of pictures and video from Thanksgiving and our trip to Disney but the thought of getting them on here is a bit overwhelming at the moment.  After Christmas we will work on it.

In the meantime, here's some video from Amelia's preschool Christmas program. 

Amelia's First Preschool Program(me)

On Thursday, Amelia had her Fall Preschool Program.  Grandma Marilyn, Daddy and Mummy all thought she'd just stand there but she did a good job, especially on the songs she knew well.  It's a seven minute video but we've been having fun re-watching it.

Apple Orchard

This year Amelia and I bought a pass to the Apple Orchard.  We've been 5 times already.

For our first trip, Amelia and I took Cuddles who is a cat from Preschool who came home with us for a couple of days.  We had to write in a book about the adventures Cuddles had with us.  . . . he only almost got left in the corn pool.

Our second trip we took Auntie Suzie, Tom, and Abby. Tom and Amelia had great fun acting out the story of the Three Little Pigs.

This video isn't nearly as amusing as last years!

Then we went with Moms Club.

Kristy's Wedding

We had a lovely time at the wedding of a High School friend of Kate's, sat at a table with my old AP English and Calculus teachers.  Amelia had fun showing off her moves on the dance floor.
