Christmas Morning

Cason was up at 5:00 Christmas morning but we made him wait a bit longer before getting everyone up. About 45 minutes later Emory woke up and we gave up and woke up Eli. The highlight of Eli's morning was his new 4wheeler. It was love at first site!  

When Emory opened her favorite present she screamed out loud, she was so excited to get her very first phone. 

Eli and some of his new farm toys. 

Emory testing out her new desk chair. 

Cason's favorite present was his new welding gear. He has already had his first lesson!

The boys each got mustache's in their stockings. They were also a huge hit! Meet Mario and Luigi Cobb!

Hay Art

Back in October Cason got the idea to make a pumpkin out of an old hay bale. So he went to work with just a little help from me with all the orange. After the pumpkin he started planning on something for Christmas/Winter and decided on a snowman. 

Our Hayman! 

We worked on Mr. Hayman for a couple of hours, that is A LOT of white, our poor fingers were sore when we were done! 

Santa Land 2020

The Sunday before Christmas we took our annual trip to Santa Land. This year Eli was really amazed by it all and loved it. They had added a few new items this year and our new favorite is the campsite with the underwear hanging on the clothes line! 

Gingerbread Houses

The first day of Christmas break we made our gingerbread houses. All three did a great job!

Pre-K Polar Express Day

The last day of school before Christmas break Eli had Polar Express Day. They dressed in their Christmas pajama's, watched the movie, ate popcorn, hot chocolate and other yummy goodies. Their desks are arranged like the train. Eli had a blast and loved it! 

 All aboard the Polar Express!

Cason's New Glasses

Cason got glasses a week before Christmas. Apparently 4th grade is the grade for the Cobb kids to get glasses, so far 2 out of 3 have!

Christmas Tree

The Christmas tree farm we have been going to closed last year and the closest we could find with a tree taller than 4 feet was in Center. So, the Sunday after Thanksgiving we braved the rain and cold and headed to Center. I am glad we went when we did because the farm in Center was low on the larger trees too. 

Our Christmas tree 2020. 

It is around 9 feet tall and has a bit of a crooked trunk. 

Cason cut down the tree all by himself this year and did a great job. 

All finished!!

Turkey Trot 1K and 5K

Thanksgiving morning the kids and Bradley ran the Turkey Trot. Eli and Bradley ran the 1K and then Bradley, Cason, and Emory ran the 5K. 

Pre- race social distancing picture. 

Eli did a great job and pretty much ran the entire time. He was super proud of his medal. 

Several friends from school ran the 5K too. Post-race Regent's Runners picture! 

1st Trimester Report Cards

Last month the kids brought home their first trimester report cards. 

Eli has had a great first trimester of school. He likes certain parts of school (socializing and talking about farms) and dislikes others (rest time). Mrs. V told us last night that Eli has talked up farming so much all the boys but one now want to be a farmer like him. 

Both Emory and Cason picked up right where they left off when COVID hit last year and continue to do well in school. They both earned all A's this trimester.
