Week 1 of Christmas Break {Picture Blog}

So what have we been up to during our first week of Christmas break? Well, here's some pictures to clue you in on our adventures during this first week off in preparation for Christmas and the New Year:

We have had LOTS of fun coloring and playing together....

We watched Josh's best friend for a day and overnight while his parents moved into their new house... They had a BLAST and it was Josh's first ever sleep over!

He got some "reindeer food" at his class party, so we had fun putting some out for some deer to come by....

In the morning, it was gone!

Our Christmas weekend was FULL of fun events with family and friends, but that's a whole new post :) Merry Christmas!

Finishing Strong

We finished school yesterday and I have SO many posts to write to update you all! First, let's talk about Josh and his karate!

Josh has been taking karate at school for one of his electives. He has an hour after classes on Monday's and an hour during Friday enrichment. He has loved it! This past Friday he tested for his new belt - a white belt with a gold stripe. To achieve this new belt, he had to show mastery in some kicks and blocks and break a piece of wood with a certain type of kick. Since I was teaching during this time, a friend captured this movie for me:

Way to Go Joshua!!!!
