Christmas Fun!

                                                                   Apollos' Christmas party at school

                                                        Khaliel and Ellie enjoying some of the fun

                                            The students each made train cars to where between classes and the teachers put railroad tracks down on the floor.  They also watched the Polar Express while sitting in their train cars.  Apollos had a blast!

                                    Swedish pancakes on Christmas morning

                                   This year for Christmas presents, instead of opening them all at one time, we opened one every 30 minutes or so.  It made it last longer and gave them time to enjoy their presents throughout the day.

                                               Ellie preferred to sit and play on the wrapped presents.  :)

Apollos turns 6!

                                            Apollos got a bow-n-arrow for his birthday from Solomon and me.

                                             Playing at Apollos' Ninja party.  They loved these balloon sticks.  They could wack each other really hard and it didn't hurt!

                                            Ellie getting in on the action of playing with all the sticky stuff.

                                             My attempt (with mom's help) at making Ninja cake pops.

                                      The weather was gorgeous on Apollos' birthday.  We took him to the park for lunch and got happy meals.  

                                     Ellie wasn't too sure about the tire swing.

                                       A train even drove by while we were there!

Brothers wrestling...I know this is only going to get more intense as they get older!

I can't believe my baby boy is now 6!  Time is going by so fast!  He is such an awesome kid!  He can read and do math problems.  He loves school and loves to learn.  He is in to robotics, dinosaurs, Ninjas, and anything with super heroes.  He also loves to draw.  He likes to design his own bat suit that he one day wants to build.  He is such a joy to have as a son!
