Holiday Performance

Its been a fun filled week for Kylie as they had their Holiday Party/Performance and pajama dress up. Not knowing what to expect from a Pre-K performance, we were very pleased and it showed with a number of parents with tears in their eyes. Here are a couple recaps from this week. 

Mr. Elf surprises Kylie each morning! Today he decided to have some pizza for breakfast!

 

The class performed several holiday songs. Kylie really enjoyed it as she loves to sing and dance!

 

Pajama Day with homemade Santa pajama's made by Grandma! And yes, we did have to put on a long sleeves as it was getting into the low 60's today! To all our friends and family up north, stay warm!

The Gingerbread Man and the Elf

The Christmas Season is in full swing at the Lum house!  We recently finished the latest homework, disguise the Gingerbread man so he doesn't get eaten.  When we asked Kylie what he should be she said Doctor!  

So the Gingerbread man was a Dr Lum of course!!  (He still had gingerbread man on his shoes)

We also have been looking forward to waking up each morning to find the Elf.  Most people name their Elf on the Shelf ours is named Elf.  Today we found him coloring.. Kylie was more concerned with cleaning up the papers and the markers then the Elf actually coloring.  I swear she doesn't have OCD. 

Here is a snapshot of Kylie on the way to the park on Sunday.  Accessorized to the max..

Thanksgiving 2012

We had a fabulous Thanksgiving with my parents and my brother Lenny and his wife Jacquelyn in Texas this year!  It is always fun to be with family as you feel like you can just relax and we did.  Between the relaxing we did have a lot of fun too..  Check out some of the pictures!

It's a Pirate.. It's a Turkey...

Kylie's Thanksgiving Homework was to disguise a Turkey so he didn't get eaten.  This was to be a family project and of course Kylie thought the turkey should be a pirate  Anyone that knows me (Tricia) knows I don't have an art or craft bone in my body so I was nervous.  Thankfully as my friend Michelle and I were running she starting to think of all the supplies she had that we could build our turkey with and brought them over.  

In the 13 years that I have been married to Brian, I never knew that he was a Martha Stewart certified arts and crafts man.   Kylie and Brian sat together and developed a plan and strategy and then Brian executed.

Happy Saturday!

 Just a quick note to say "Happy Saturday"...with a week full of craziness from weather to politics, today we just wanted to bring everyone a smile! Kylie saw "Wreck-It-Ralph" today at the movies and enjoyed it and then this evening one of the local outdoor malls had a Christmas tree lightning ceremony.

 
                   
  

As much as Kylie was excited to see all the lights lit up, it was Elmo that made the highlights!
