HOLIDAY TIME

Per usual, holiday time was busy this year as well. First we went to Lights at the Zoo and to White River Gardens for the Scavenger Hunt, whereAJT07 met a new friend, a polar bear (fake, of course, but loved by her nonetheless).



A new addition this year was the Music, Arts, and Drama musical in which AJT04 acted/sang and Daddy acted. AJT04 was an angel as part of the musical along with several other kindergartners and first-graders. We knew that she loved music and her excitement as part of the musical only served to prove that.


With the snow came the chance to build a fort of some sort – the snow was not great packing snow, but with a little ingenuity, we developed a plan. The snow was about the consistency of wet sand so what better to use to build a fort than the sand castle toys – it worked and we built a pseudofort.


Then came Christmas Eve with church and opening at least some presents and waiting for the Big Guy in a Red Suit...



Lastly (actually after Christmas) came the annual trips to the Children’s Museum of Indianapolis (which someone shouts any time there is an advertisement) and the Indiana State Museum. At the Children’s Museum, one must slide...


And sock skate...


While at the State Museum, one should ride the replica L.S. Ayres train (there’s a name you do not hear much any more)...


And visit Santa’s cottage, even if he is not there.

It was busy, but we love the holiday season.
