Surrounded By Family And Friends

Multicultural Night took place at Katelyn's school.  Students could dress up in their ethnic traditional clothing.  Katelyn wore a Chinese dress called cheongsam.  During the night, there were performances by the different cultures.  Her friend, Sora was part of the Japanese drum dance.

Bella's best friend, Maya had an Cinderella birthday celebration at a park in the city.

Bella wanted to show Daddy she can go on the monkey bars.

The girls are lucky to be surrounded by family and friends during Thanksgiving.  Auntie Shirley and Uncle Rob hosted Thanksgiving lunch.  McKenna taught the kids how to make fish tails with rainbow looms.

Auntie Alice requested a pic with all the kids and amazingly they are all looking at the camera.

And another one with the Mommies.  Katelyn and Bella wanted to be in the picture too.

Daddy and Mommy hosted Thanksgiving.   All the kids are growing up so fast!

Katelyn's favorite activity is her weekly drawing class.  She is learning a lot of different techniques like pointillism and wet on wet.  This is Mommy's favorite piece she has created so far.

Nicholas helped Katelyn with one of her school assignments.  A friend or family member was to mail a post card from their location and write a description about the destination, so the kids can learn some new facts.  Nicholas lives in Boston and is right next to Fenway Park.  He told the students it's one of the oldest parks and how many the park can seat.

Katelyn is a great big sister.  When it was raining and Bella did not have an umbrella or hood, Katelyn took off her jacket and covered Bella's head, so she would not get wet.  It's moments like these Mommy is so glad to have two girls who love each other so much!
