Snow Fort

We have had a fair amount of snow this year and last weekend the whole family went out and shoveled a big pile  - with the intent of making a snow fort.  Unfortunately at that time the snow was so light and fluffy that the possibility of hollowing it out didn't exist.  After a week of more snow, a little rain and several days of freezing temperatures, the fluffy snow hardened.  So yesterday Dan, Kailer and the neighbor boys were able to achieve the long awaited Snow Fort.  How fun!!

Christmas Around The World

Kailer's class studied Christmas Around The World.  

From his teacher's blog: 

"They watched videos of the Eiffel Tower at Christmas-time, and the kids thought the lights were so magical! Then, we built our own Eiffel Towers with marshmallows + toothpicks. We also learned that French children put their shoes out to receive presents on Christmas Eve... interesting traditions!"
