Hangin' with the Bierstedts

We spent some time with the Bierstedt cousins over the holidays. As usual, cuteness and chaos both ensued.

Mr. Red Belt

I graduated to my red belt in karate today.  I was expecting to have to wait until January, but I was able to demonstrate all of my blue belt skills in time.

Random Art Projects

The end of the year is always a time when our teachers send home art that has been decorating the school.  Here is our collection -- mostly, it is Ainsley's work.

Ben's self (dot) portrait.


Ainsley's painted turkey.


What Ainsley is thankful for.


Ainsley's hand turkey.  She didn't like it because her teacher painted her hand.


Melted crayon turkey.


More things Ainsley is thankful for.


From the beginning of the year - they had to introduce themselves. Ainsley likes books, cousins, Hammy the hamster, Dora, and dancing.



Bejeweled Christmas tree!



Love,
Ben and Ainsley

My Holiday Program

My preschool had a holiday program and Mom and Dad came to see it.  They videotaped it so that you could see it too.  It is only 6 minutes long, so sit down and enjoy!

Here I am that morning.  Very excited!

Ainsley
