So far behind

In mid-November, our Pediatric Dentist's office had a special night at the Magic House in Kirkwood for all of their patients, so we took the kids (who wouldn't go to the Magic House if it was free??!) and they had a blast. Here's just a few pictures from the evening.

The girls "tickling the ivories"

Christopher had a ball with anything that had a wheel or a ball. FUN!!

I was served pizza in the pretend pizza parlor - YUM!!

Before school let out for Thanksgiving, the school had a special chapel during which the kindergarten and first graders put on a play. Last year, Katherine was a pilgrim - this year, as a first grader, she got to be an indian (she's the one in the kahki jumper with the headpiece and and drum). She did great and the kids had a fun time. that same day, the "big kids" - those who eat lunch at school - had a feast and I helped with Katherine's class. Below is a picture of their table and her in her indian outfit - complete with CCS uniform!

Elizabeth also made a costume at school for Thanksgiving - her's the two girls together with their oufits. :)Katherine was very proud of the gingerbread house that she made with Dad at a Dierbergs class. She'll be using it to do a demonstration to her school class - showing them the steps needed to make it - as part of a class project. I don't have any pictures of the event, but on Thanksgiving Day, we celebrated with John's family. Then, on Saturday, we got together with my family and I did get a few pictures....

The girls have been having fun getting ready for Christmas this year - here's just a few pictures...
