Graduation

It is only pre-school....but still a big deal :)

bday weekend - we are 5

We had our annual bday weekend in NYC - It started with a trip to Max Brenner's

Then a lot of playing in some NYC parks
We went to see Freckleface Strawberry the musical and S and I got some extra freckles
Dinner was vegetarian Korean given our new focus on eating less meat
We had a small cake at home - check out the cool hats made by S & J's teachers

St. Maarten

Very needed vacation in the middle of a snowy winter!

Snow, Snow, Snow

We have had 3 snow days in the past week - it's been one crazy winter.
J has gotten good at shoveling
S prefers to laze around in the snow
S also learned the lazy way up the sledding hill

Happy New Year

A big storm led to New Year's Eve snowmen
We celebrated NYE Shabbat w/homemade challah
Happy New Year!

1st ski trip ever

S was a rockstar on the slopes
J was a bit more tentative
We all liked traveling to the hot tub in our bathing suits and boots...
And swimming while overlooking the mountain - fun!

Thanksgiving

We started Thanksgiving weekend with our annual trip to Bartley's



Then finished the gluttony at Aunt M's & Uncle T's...
with the return of Nanny B's jello-mold....
and a super duper train cake for dessert!

Halloween...under the sea

J wanted to be a scary shark (easy to buy) but S wanted to be a purple stingray which required a bit more ingenuity....luckily Poppy came to the rescue and created this super cool purple stingray costume
