Making the Faculty Christmas Gift

Karen and Katie Beth Mixing IngredientsKatie Beth and Karen made Christmas gifts for all of the faculty and staff at Holy Family Regional School.  They made hot cocoa mix reindeers.  The reindeer faces are made with cocoa powder blended with powder sugar and dried milk.  The tops of the faces are made of mini-marshmellows and mini-kisses.

Rolling Skating Party

Katie Beth had a blast at her first rollerskating party for her classmate.  It is great that we had already been teaching Katie Beth how to rollerblade.  She took to rolling skates with no problem.

Halloween and Lots of Costumes

Katie Beth as Vampire Devil for HalloweenThe weather threatened to rain the whole evening, but we ended up getting out to go trick-or-treating with Katie Beth in the end.  Katie Beth went as a vampire devil.  Our neighbor really decorated their front porch and an awesome way.

This year, we had lots of Halloween events to go to so Katie Beth got to dress up as various things each time including a bumblebee, a rock’n roll star, and a vampire.

Many of the cars were decorated very well.  The tricked out  hearse was probably the best.
