January


I made this craft with a friend for St. Patty's day. It's an Irish Blessing.
Andrew loves to play with his cars all day long. He insisted that I take a picture of him.
Brynn and Andrew have been saving up their allowance to become vets! They bought a new puppy and kitty to take care. We are glad they aren't real. Brynn just made capes for her puppy.

Ashleigh made this artwork at Brownies. We have it on an easel in our kitchen. She is quite the artist!
Kamren surprised us one morning and made us waffles from scratch. This was his very first time! He just opened up the cookbook at started cooking. He's amazing!
We started a new tradition this year. Chinese is taught at the children's elementary school so they hear alot about the Chinese class. They really wanted to celebrate this holiday as a family. The kids and I had so much fun making lanterns and figuring out what we were going to eat. Kamren did this garland for us.

The kids loved the fortune cookies! Kevin was so nice to make us chicken and brocolli with rice for dinner and egg drop soup. Yummy! Kamren taught us how to do some origami.
Connor went on a fun playdate to a kids gym. He was loving all the new things to touch and eat!
Andrew loved being a monkey at the gym!
I had fun making this Valentine garland to decorate our home.
Here' s our kitchen table. I love to decorate for each holiday. It must be the teacher in me.
Connor is climbing up on everything and he's loving it!
On Sunday we made Valentines for everyone in the family and put them in their mailboxes. We are doing this each week until Valentines Day. It's so fun to see the children think of their siblings.
Kamren surprised Andrew with this new race track in the basement. Kamren even matched up the numbers to go with the cars.
