Katie's a Fighter

A couple of weeks ago it was Katie's birthday so the family went to celebrate with her! We started off the festivities with a home cooked dinner, thanks to Chef daddy!



Wil got Katie this adorably cute penguin cake! 




We also had some play time:



We ended the weekend with a hair dying party. My sister's cancer came back and thankfully the doctors found it early this time. Please check out her own blog here to read her inspiring story. She is quit the fighter!

Because Katie is awesomely fun she decided that she wanted her hair teal, pink, and purple for her first round of chemo. She did something similar to this last time. You can read about that here. 

Before:

First step was bleach:

Katie really didn't like this part!


Katie as a blonde...now you know why non of us got your coloring mom... :)

Next came the color. I think she looks quite amazing!

Go kick cancer's butt Katie! Make sure to follow her blog to see how she's doing on this journey!

Bunny

About a year ago I got a bunny as my classroom pet. I have wanted a Netherland Dwarf bunny for quite some time because of their cute ears and they stay small. Small bunny = perfect for classoom life. So after the beloved Max (my old guinea pig) left us, I knew now was the time to get a bunny! Thank goodness my sister Anna looks on Craigs List all the time for animals because she actually found a Netherland Dwarf Bunny that was up for adoption! YAY! I got her a couple of days after I found the post and was so excited. The kids decided to name her Maddi after a character in the book Fever 1793 . If you like historical fiction books,  you should check it out because it's really good! Little did I know that bunnies are full of personality! On her first day home she bit me 3 times and got me 2 times with her nails. Good thing is now she likes me (most of the time) and is much more friendly! She lets the kids in the class pet her and feed her. She also hops around the classroom....

Christmas Parade

Because I'm a sucker for parades so we took Naomi to her first Christmas parade! It was a very nice day out! We tried Naomi's sunglasses on her...but they didn't stay on long! Every time a band passed Naomi was completely enthralled in them! Future band nerd in the making! :)

Seeing Santa

There is a fun farm in the area called Hill Ridge Farm. They have a really fun Christmas light show during this time of year. Santa is also there! We waited in line for 1 hour to see Santa! By that time Naomi was tired (it was 8:00) and ready for bed! Santa and Naomi snuggled for a little bit and Santa said thanks for giving him a break :) We definitely learned that next year we need to visit before the last weekend before Christmas! Unfortunately we didn't see the light show, maybe next year! :)
