New Pajamas

Santa gave Ezri a plush Tacocat. palindromes!

Eric rocking his new Hawaiian shirt given in anticipation of the luau themed daddy daughter dance at Ez’s school.

Ezri added the ready whip manes to her magical unicorn pancakes.

YAY! Christmas

One more unicorn for the herd (Ezri’s new book told her the proper term for a group of unicorns is a blessing but I like herd).

New totebag with unicorn sized outer pocket

Ivan and Ezri exchanging gifts. Yeah, he got her a plush unicorn which he knew she would like. She does.

This is Ezri at around 8:30 Christmas morning. She has been given a candy cane to eat because she’s been waiting over an hour for Ivan to wake up.

Ezri plays the role of Old Red – mistakenly thought to be eaten by the wolf actually on vacation in Hawaii.

They played Mary Had a Little Lamb, Twinkle Twinkle and Jingle Bells!

Post performance with some of her biggest fans.

The scene of the entire 4th grade orchestra.

In here for proof that’s she’s there. Look behind the music stand in the upper right corner.

Though Hanukkah ended days ago we played a Hanukkah themed role playing game, spun some dreidels, ate a lovely meal, played with the costume box, and generally enjoyed ourselves.

Ezri really likes her new plush puppycorn and kittencorn. Magical horns are no longer for unicorns only.

KBlaus gets said like KaBOOM!

Ezri loved reading her new Unicorn guidebook with her grandparents.

And an earlier-in-the-week photo of Hanukkah pocket joy.

Open house for the 4th grade Extend classroom was a skit about King Midas, allusion dominos, and many togas.

4th graders in togas with the laurel wreaths they made on their heads.

In order to make our windows ready for holiday decoration, the whole family worked on window washing and curtain laundering.
The windows are now perfect for gel gems!

Lighting the menorah

Presenting creative homemade menorahs. Liz’s edible menorah is made of donuts and gelt. Eowyn’s is made of LEGO and is Harry Potter themed.

Ezri showing off her dreidel made of LEGO.

There are no photos but Eowyn and Ezri put together a “waterless synchronized swimming” performance which involved lying on their backs on a couch together and doing routines with their legs in the air. Rachael did color commentary and judging. We all agreed it really should be an Olympic sport.
