Mostly pics of Liam's 11th birthday

Due to so many high cases with covid, our school district switched to distance learning the week of Liam's birthday. So this was reading time for the girls. Evelyn actually read to Adeline for almost 45 minutes in their little reading blankets!

Making her penguin crown.

Decorating the cake with blue frosting.

Not overloaded with gummy bears.

Grandma and Grandpa drove down for a lot of the day. Doing puzzles with the girls.

Liam would say the best part of his birthday was using his long-months-saved up money and birthday money to get an Oculus quest 2. He was VERY excited to go and buy it on his birthday.

Eating cake and ice cream.

Playing the oculus.

 

Another zoo visit and random pics

Watching the female lions.

Watching the male tiger. They actually have a new female tiger we saw for the first time this visit so that was fun too!

Ice picking the animals again.

Stomping on ice.

Collin came home from school not feeling well last week, tested positive for Covid, so  Dr. Adeline made him a special bed on the floor in his room.

Liam due to yet ANOTHER quarantine, they brought the activity days activity to him.

More puzzle time. Adeline is getting really good at these bigger wood puzzles.
 

More pics from our first week of January

Adeline getting her all dressed up for school. Love her sense of style!

Having a popcorn treat.

Having her little preschool buddy Cadence over one morning to play.

Due to having to quarantine the first couple weeks of January due to Collin testing positive, we had to postpone some of our Saturday adventures. The first Saturday we just ended up having a game day. Playing apples to apples.

We have done a lot of silly songs involving "red pepp" or red peppers. Sometimes I am funny and entertaining. Her is Adeline with her red pepp mustache.

Doing preschool packets at home due to preschool closed due to covid for a week :( We don't like covid!

Puzzle time for non screen time.

 

First week of January 2022

Collin wearing his new tie and going to get ordained to the office of a teacher.

Liam took these pretty sunrise pictures one morning.

Finally got back to the zoo with Adeline after basically not going at all in December due to having to quarantine.

She loved playing with her little ice pickers.

We saw the polar bear!

More ice picking the tiger statues!

Saying hi to the long snake.

And saying hi to her favorite black footed cat.

Liam got his Christmas present in the mail.

When we first got our big snow and Adeline went out and made a snow slide.
