Christmas Card

We have begun setting up for Christmas here... and unpacked some Christmas stickers. Melissa got busy in her room and made this Christmas card for me!

Ice Skating Lessons

Late October Melissa started her first ice skating lessons. We have been so thrilled that she has taken the sport on with such enthusiasm and she seems to have a great sense of balance which certainly comes in handy. Below are pics & videos I took from some of the first classes.

Playing "Red light / Green light"
Giving me the "I love you" symbol through the glass...
Learning to skate backwards by doing the boogie!
Playing "Simon Says"...

Learning to skate backwards...

Please let me know if these videos are unaccessible, as I have tried a new level of privacy "Unlisted" on YouTube.

Halloween

Trying something new here... Melissa is sitting beside me and is going to provide the captioning for these pictures :)

"Mommy & I are getting seeds out of a pumpkin"
"Our pumpkin is glowing in the dark"
"I am posing with the candy from Nana" (& Pop)
"Kim is asking if I am the same Munchkin that lives across the street"
"I am on Kim's driveway dressed up as Hello Kitty"
"I am at Axel's house to get candy, and I am not scared"
"I like trick-or-treating!"
"I am trick-or-treating at a pirate's house with my cousin Xander"
"All three cousins getting candy"

"The End"
