Randomness

This girl is awesome whether sleeping or building with Legos (or anything else for that matter!).

 We were so glad that David was able to come visit for a few days at the end of December!

 Mom and Dad ordered three months of Kiwi Crates for Mia for Christmas.  The first one arrived, and it is so cute!  She is going to love getting two more of these.  They have several really cute crafts and projects in it.  The December one was about winter, and one of the crafts was making these sticky paws and headband.  You throw a "snowball" at the paws and can catch it!

 The Kiwi Crate also had a snowflake sugar cookie recipe, so the girls made those with Liz while we were in Asheville.

 One of my favorite things to see is Lily reading to Mia.  Thankfully, she does it fairly often.  Last night she let Mia pick a book ("Read to Tiger") and they sat together and enjoyed this book.

 Mia made this cool gumball machine project at school.

 On the left is one of Lily's fashion designs.  One the right was the cover of her music book that she made.  It is her playing the piano on stage.

 Lily's class studied flowers recently, and each child was assigned one to draw.  Lily's was a Lily of the Valley.

 This note came from Lily today.   Hmmm, what should we answer?

 This is Lily's drawing of a computer.  I love the beach scene on the screen!

 I love any kind of hand and footprint art!  Lily's class used their feet to make ravens as they study Elijah.  I couldn't get this to turn sideways, but I thought it was really cool.

The girls' report cards came home today, and we were very pleased with them.  They are both doing great!  Ms. Messer said that Mia is "always very engaged and loves to learn."  Mrs. Barbelescu said Lily "blesses us with her gentleness.  She learns things very quickly and easily.  Lily has great academic potential!  She is working hard and excelling.  I appreciate that Lily asks many questions in class."  We are so grateful that the girls are at ACCA and have these wonderful teachers.
