Bee Joyful

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!  Last week, we went ice skating with a bunch of other families that we know. It was so fun to be out on the cold ice. I still have my ice skates that we bought one year up at Rennies in Maine while visiting Grammy and Grampy Meehan one Christmas. I still remember skating on the pond in the back.  Not Alex's favorite sport but he was a good sport about it!  Addison loves ice skating and whishing around with all his friends.  Christmas Eve at our home. We started by hanging around and being cozy in the house. It was very cold outside and extremely cozy in the house.  Addison had a Christmas full of surprises this year!  Our annual tradition is to go to Omi and Popop's house, sing some carols and enjoy lots of yummy food. My favorite is the Russsian salade. It is made with beets, potatoes, pickled herring, walnuts and onions!  After we eat and sing together, then we open up all the gifts under Omi and Popop's tre...

 I noticed Addison has organized some Legos and is photgraphing them. These are the Mars Mission guys...  Our trip to Town and Country. I guess we are the "town" shoppers. We have a huge tree this year!  After chopping it off the stand they lug it to the horseless carriage.  AND... we got a little tree this year for the other room we hand out in. We are hosting a big Christmas party this year and thought the tree would add to the occasion.  Homeschooling rocks. One benefit, is if you feel like dressing like a puppy to do your schoolwork, you can!  Letter of the day is "t"! They are playing Draw a Picture with Aunt Sue. Signing off for now! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!
