We have not done a whole lot this week, but what we did was festive.
Happy little Kai has mostly been content to wear his sweater. Grandma M. stopped by, and boy was Kai excited for the love!
Eliza put a ponytail in Kai's hair and Landon saved him by taking it out. Kai tried for a minute to get it out on his own with no luck.
Landon also thought it was funny to make Kai wear his Harry Potter-style glasses.
Hallie got into the act too. At night Landon and Hallie get into mischief and laughing fits.
Mike has had small moments while substitute teaching when he can get some paper snowflake cutting in.
He subbed as a kindergarten teacher (twice), a third grade teacher, an art teacher, a second grade teacher, and a computer lab tech this week. It's been varied and fun. Here is an embossed aluminum foil project he did with his art class. Still needs to be colored with sharpies (or maybe he'll leave it).
Hallie has new winter nails. They look like a sweater with snowflakes. Eliza took the picture so it doesn't do it justice. Hallie says going to get her nails done once a month is better than therapy and cheaper.
Kai is such a love. We took him back to Brittany on Thursday and we will get him for three days this coming week. We're sad when he's gone!
Hallie tends to find what look like easy projects on Pinterest for the high school and preschool kids for Christmas that turn out to become much more involved than anticipated. As we started making the projects, they become ambitious Christmas presents. This year she found a paint stick Scrabble tile ornament project. Turned out nice.
In Eliza's science class, she learned about how heavenly bodies orbit each other and how the angle of sunlight creates the seasons.
Ferg presented Mike with this "feed me now" face on Friday morning.
Isn't this gingerbread house setup at a local school Mike worked at so cute?
Hallie thought the backdrop at the school was cute and tried to take a selfie. Hallie needs a little help she said in the selfie department.
She works the basketball games lately, and she's a big fan of Springville High! Hallie has three of the cheerleaders in her preschool class. Two of the cheerleaders had to go to the bathroom before the halftime show, so Hallie took advantage of having two sets of pom poms left in her possession. In her head Hallie was an amazing cheerleader. Rah, rah, rah!
Ferg gave us an evening blep as well, this time out of post-supper satisfaction.
Here are a few more paper snowflakes Mike made while teaching and then hung in our windows.
We opened up one of our first gifts of Christmas, an Amos Pewter annual ornament from Gma and Gpa Dorey!
One of Mike's heraldry friends made this super simple emblazonment of his arms. When you're simple enough you can be interpreted in LEGO, you know you've arrived!
We were blessed by folks from the local church today and two neighbors this weekend. We received fixings for Christmas dinner and an amazing gift bag full of goodies from one neighbor, and another neighbor and his family made us homemade treats. We live in a wonderful neighborhood, and we are grateful for the friendships we have made in Utah.
