Happy Holidays!

Last week the kids learned about Hanukkah! They enjoyed spinning dreidels and learning about the 8 nights! This year they really picked-up on the traditions of the holiday! Each of the 8 older children made a candle that, together, represented the 8 nights of Hanukkah.




This week we are talking about Christmas and had our Holiday Party last night! It was such a great time. Thank you to everyone who could make it!!!

Tumble Bugs!

Yes, we bought it! We got a tumble mat for the kids to use inside this winter. So far, they love it! They like to jump on it more than tumble right now, but we can get them to do a few somersaults now and then.

Baking Up a Storm

This past week we spent in the kitchen!! The topic was baking, and the kids LOVED helping. We made four different creations (and got a cookie craft in) for the the week. We made White Chocolate Brownies, Turtle Bread, Maple Cupcakes, and Banana Bread. Here are our awesome little helpers! You'll notice in the group pictures that they are REALLY happy! =)
