Light Table and More

Grammy and Grand-dad came to visit us the second weekend in December. We had a wonderful time with them as always. Everyone especially enjoyed the incredible light table gift they brought. This is such a wonderful learning tool. I can't wait to use it in all sorts of homeschool projects and activities for years to come! The first weekend we just had fun exploring some of the manipulatives Grammy and Grand-dad also gave us for the light table. Thank you for such an incredible gift!While the girls played with the new light table Jackson played with the new toy Grammy brought to me which was an Oreck vacuum sweeper/steamer mop. I don't know it's technical name, but it is awesome! It would work well for anyone but it's especially great for someone with three little kids and has a floor that should be mopped after every meal. This thing works wonders! My sweet little Clara with her new green Nutcracker from Grammy. Kennedy loved her new Nutcracker and insisted on sleeping with him for several nights. When Grammy asked Grand-dad to take this picture Kennedy was more snuggled up with her beloved Nutcracker but she moved before we got to take the super sweet picture. I still like this one though and think she looks so precious! It's funny to me that the girls love their Nutcrackers so much but they truly do. So sweet!Jackson throughly enjoys being naughty and eating cookies for breakfast when Grammy comes to visit...Since traveling from Wisconsin with Uncle Andrew and Grand-dad in August Tim has been hooked on Soduko games. Here Reagan is enjoying helping him figure out a few numbers here. Tim is so good about involving the kids in things like this (as long as we don't touch his puzzles... lol).On Saturday we went down to Berea to pick up the Dulcimers Grand-dad was having repaired for TTU. It was a really neat shop surrounded by many other interesting little stores. There was a great toy store as well as a candy/ice cream shop Grand-dad thought we should stop by. The girl's thought ice cream was a fabulous idea and throughly enjoyed their treat! :)Kennedy with her "tiny" ice cream cone Thank you for a fun weekend and all you do for us!
