panda expert

To say that I am loving school this year would be an understatement. I love, love it. I have seen Addison just blossom this year...and we still have quite a bit of the year left, so I'm sure it will just continue. She has this insatiable desire to learn...about really anything. And I love watching her. 

Ms. Shelly, from our weekly school, gave the kiddos an assignment to write about their favorite animal. This girl chose a panda...and we went crazy learning all there was to learn. We attacked the internet and the library to get any and all info we could. We read book after book...and she soaked it all up. She wrote up her report on it and we made a lapbook to store all of her data that she researched. She was in heaven! And very proud of her finished product. 

 

 Proud little 5 year old!!

more sledding...and cocoa of course

These kiddos woke up with one desire this morning...to go back outside and enjoy the new snow we got overnight. They are loving this! And...they are just so darn cute I can't help myself. :)

 

 Attempting to all 3 get on the sled and go down at once. It took a few tries, but they finally succeeded. 

 

 

 

 She is such an awesome older sister...so patient with the 'littles.'

After quite a while outdoors, we had to indulge ourselves indoors. Hot cocoa for all! Love their little faces and expressions.
