Christmas 2007 Picture Wrap-Up

Sebastian's 3rd Birthday

On Friday, December 21, 2007 our family celebrated Sebastian's birthday. Sebastian opened a few gifts before the four of us headed off to the Northeast Texas Children's Museum in Commerce, Texas. Sebastian and Katherine had a great time playing for a couple hours before we left for our next birthday adventure. We left Commerce for Sherman where we had dinner at Chuck E. Cheese's. There were a few more stops before we headed for home; however, it was a great day and fun for all!





Sebastian also had the opportunity to celebrate his birthday with his Aunt Diane and Grandpa Homer on Saturday, December 22nd, and on December 23rd with Grandpa & Grandma Banks and Uncle Billy.

Storybook Carnival

The Swink Public School has a Storybook Carnival for the Early Childhood program instead of celebrating Halloween. During the month of October Katherine's kindergarten class read Mother Goose nursery rhymes and stories. Each child was encouraged to dress up as a story book character. Katherine chose to dress up as 'Miss Jane' from the following nursery rhyme...
Miss Jane had a bag and a mouse was in it;
She opened the bag, he was out in a minute.
The cat saw him jump and run under the table,
And the dog said:"Catch him, Puss, soon as you're able."


Katherine is holding her bag with the mouse in it. She picked out the nursery rhyme from her Mother Goose book and decided what dress up outfit she would wear. I was very proud of her!

Here she is entering the gym.

I set up the Humpty Dumpty Puzzle booth. I took poster board and drew (or should I say traced) a picture of Humpty Dumpty sitting on a wall. I then cut up the poster board into puzzle pieces for the kids to put together.

Katherine and her friend, Channah, are putting together the Humpty Dumpty puzzle.
