Sarah really loves beading with the kit she got for her birthday.

Here’s a pic of Sarah at preschool observing a snake.

We went to a birthday party at our next door neighbors’ house one weekend.  Sarah and Blaine enjoyed the dinosaur theme and the doughnut mountain cake.

The kids were so excited to get these new jackets for their birthdays (thanks, Aunt Jody!).

I volunteered at Sarah’s school one day to help making apple pies for a food drive.  The kids had a blast rolling out the dough and cutting out shapes for the topping.

I was very impressed that this panda balloon lasted until Nov 22, over a month from Sarah’s birthday.

Blaine helped make our favorite chocolate ginger cookies to take with us to VA for Thanksgiving.

And the kids layed out their own Thanksgiving dinner.
