Medieval Feast Day

The first Friday in March was Medieval Feast Day for Emory. The day included skits, presentations, and a huge feast with the Eighth and Eleventh grades. 

Fourth grade parents are responsible for decorating for the feast. It took a couple of hours to set up but the kids loved it. 

The 4th graders!

 They each had to make a shield using symbols they had learned about. Emory worked very hard on her shield. 

Mrs. Bryant, the art teacher, turned  the window into a "stain glass" window for the feast. It was beautiful! 

The kids ate with their hands of course. They had different kinds of meat, soup, fruit, bread and desserts.

Emory's 10th Birthday Party

Emory had a joint birthday this year with her friend and classmate Olivia, whose birthday is the 19th. So the Friday after Emory's birthday we celebrated their birthdays at the new ceramics place in town. We just invited the girls from their class, so it was low key but fun!

It was a unicorn themed party. The girls all got matching shirts and painted unicorns! 

After the girls finished painting the unicorns headed to the kiln and they continued celebrating with pizza and cake. 

We all had a great time!

Christmas 2018

We had a wonderful Christmas again this year! 

Cason decorated the hall for everyone and did a great job!

Eli fell a sleep on my lap during the candlelight service, so Cason helped me out by lighting and holding my candle for me.

Christmas morning fun! 

Baby Jesus in the manger. 

Throughout December we read a Bible verse about the birth of Jesus and each verse made a piece of straw for our manger. After we read and talked about the verse we put the hay in the manger. Christmas day was the final verse and we were able to put baby Jesus in the manger. 

Santa Land 2018

A couple of days before Christmas we made our annual trip to Santa Land. We had a picnic in the back of the car while we waited in line for Santa Land to open. 

After about 45 minutes Santa Land opened and off we went! 

The space ship and alien were new this year! 

Eli couldn't believe all the Christmas lights. He loved it!

Big Foot was also new! 

We had fun time again the year visiting Santa Land!
