Just put up the xmas tree

Tonight we worked together to get the tree up. It was fun decorating and setting up the train under it as well. Isabel and Alexis were great little helpers.

A close up

Isabel teaches Alexis how to draw

It's so awesome to see them draw together. Isabel was patient and imaginative. Alexis was eager to learn getting upset several times that she can't get it perfectly. But at last, masterpieces from both. ;-).

Youngest hula hoop champion

Alexis went from not knowing what to do to being the star in hula hooping. She loves it so much and it's so cute to watch her. :-)

Isabel still loves soccer

Yesterday was the end of fall season soccer for the Starr king falcon team. They had fun taking pictures, eating donuts. I can clearly see Isabel enjoying herself. They also have improved a lot, learning their positions and passing the ball. They will also be honored at school next tuesday leading the morning parade. :-)

Even Alexis love going to the game, more to hang at the playground nearby or in yesterday case playing with a friendly dog.

Isabel learns hip hop - street dance festival

We came out of piano lessons just in time to see a Chinese dance festival followed by some hip hop dancing. They concluded with a lesson for anyone so isabel jumped in. She looks so shy now but had a lot of fun.

Halloween photos

For the first time, I dressed up for Halloween at Wells Fargo. I guess I finally found a team that is cool enough to handle it. ;-). We agreed to do more next year as our charlotte office has a full on cube decorating war and being the kids in for trick or treat. :-)

That evening we went to our usual neighborhood pizza party and trick or treat. Finished pizza just before rain and kids scored 2 full bags of candy. I will need to slowly throw away or take to office. Hehe. They had a good time even in the rain

Isabel Halloween party at Jackson

Isabel told me this year she no longer wants to be an vampire. So I let her chose her own costume on Amazon. She chose vampire and interestingly enough many kids her age did as well.
