We have been trying to get ready for a 4-H tournament coming up in January. I have been practicing as much as possible. We went out to Adventures Archery in Brandon and show on their indoor range.

We still shoot at WAC.

Something happened and my bow derailed. I was distraught to say the least. Mom made me grab a house bow and keep shooting so I wasn’t afraid.

We got my box fixed the next day and were back to shooting. Dad resighted in my bow with me and I am back on fire!

It is great that now we have a few friends shooting with us. I love shooting  at the 3-D targets. The match in late January is a 3-D match so it is good practice!

 

 

 

 

I gave my first half of the year demo on Lionfish. I have been slightly obsessed with them for a while now.

We are also back to ice skating with the homeschool class. I am having fun and proud that I haven’t fallen a single time!

It is great to see my friends at class and make new friends, too!

 

We have been trying to hang out with our friends as much as possible during break. We went to the park with H & M the other day. I played sneak up on Mom but kept getting caught!

 

My kindergarten pal, Z, came over with another friend. We played games, watched a movie and had a great yummy steak dinner.

They stayed all afternoon and evening. It was a wonderful time!

Mom’s been playing with the new Brother Scan and Cut machine. She is making so many things.

Emmerson has his 9th birthday celebration. Harry potter themed, of course! Mom mad a cool photo booth.

He has a bounce house, slide and cotton candy.

Fun was had by all! 🙂

 

 

Ollie and Jolly toilet papered the house before they left for the year. We had a great Christmas. We failed to take many photos. Sorry about that! There was lots under the tree and we were blessed. Mom actually went around the house and wrapped a bunch of things for Dad for the motorhome so the huge boxes are all stuff we bought anyway.

We were up early waiting for breakfast. Grandma Susie, Grandma Joa nd Grandpa Howie all came over for the day.

HO HO HO!

We got some new lego kits and some fun toys.

The highlight of the season was new laptops! The skins on them are photos we took in the Maritimes this summer! How cool is that!

Sorry we didn’t get any photos of people or gifts. Mom needs to up her game with camera operations!

 

 

More schoolwork! Mom gave us a break from all the other schoolwork and I am focusing on my FLVS class. I love showing Emmerson things that I learn and he is a good student.

Taking over Dad’s chair as I work work work on FLVS Biology. It’s been a fun class. I am basically done now, I just have to wait until after the holiday break so I can take my last two DBAs and tests. I will take the EOC in April/May just for fun. I don’t have to take the end of course exam since I am a homeschooler but I want to see how I do on it!

We spent a night in Bethlehem again this year. We went to Hebrew school and wrote our names.

We learned how work working happened in biblical times.

We wandered the village and then heard the story of Mary and Joseph. It was a fun night with family.

We spend a fun day at Legoland before our passes expire. We rarely would go on a weekend but wanted to check out Christmas Bricktacular. It was a lot of fun.

I has a little tummy bug and so did E. E got it worse and was down for almost 10 days! His tummy hurt a long time.

I spent the hours being crazy while he slept and tried to feel better. I made several neat stuffed animals and learned to sew!

I also helped Dad with Christmas cookies. I changed the wreathes into Mele kalikimakas — that is Hawaiian for Merry Christmas! They looked like little hibiscus flowers.

When E felt a little better I helped him sew too.

Uncle Matt sent a new box of rocks! We had a blast going through them and seeing all our new treasures!
