Happy New Year!
This year we spent our New Year’s Eve at the Reagens’, where we are nearly every year! It is always a blast and the kids love to party.
O Christmas Tree
We took our Christmas tree down a couple of days ago and I laid it outside beside the house. The kids were out playing today and decided to put it up again, complete with lights.

December Hike
The weather has been nice and we got out for a hike in the woods behind our house yesterday, just before the rain started. It was fun to be able to get out and explore the woods with none of the ground plants and not being freezing.
Homeschool Drama
As part of their enrichment classes Andrew, Mari, and Elliot all take a drama class. Last week they had their performances, culminating their semester’s work. They all love the drama classes and do an excellent job at the performances.
Elliot is the third goat in The Three Silly Goats Gruff. I apologize for the blurry video.
Mari played the role of the mother wolf and narrator in The Three Little Wolves and the Big, Bad Pig.
Andrew played the role of the Giant in Kate and the Beanstalk.
Lucia’s Nextdoor Friends
Lucia loves Christmas decorations. Our neighbors, Rick & Donna, put out quite a few Christmas characters and Lu loves to go over and visit each of them.
Rose is *Almost* Sitting Up
She is not quite there yet, but Rose has been working hard lately at sitting up. I think she spends more independent time on the floor than any of our other kids did so this will be useful for her, and us.
Mari’s Christmas Songs
Mari is working on multiple Christmas songs on the violin right now. Rather than having to worry about moving the pages around, she came up with a creative music stand.
Ameriprise Christmas Party
This evening we headed to the Ameriprise Christmas Party. It is hosted by our financial advisor and it is an awesome party. The kids love the food, face painting, Santa, and storytelling. This year Lucia was especially interested in Santa. She spent a long time hanging out in his area.
