Photo Booth!

Last night, we went to my cousin Nic's wedding, where they had a photo booth set up in the corner, just for fun.  The results?  Almost as entertaining as the moves people had on the dance floor.  ;)

  

Star of the Week!

The first week back to school in January, Aubrey was assigned to be the "Star of the Week" in her kindergarten class.  This means she got to be a special leader, and share lots of things about herself with the class all week long.  She was made to feel very special, and put lots of thought into her sharing selections.  What a fun tradition!

Monday:  Star Poster
Over the break, we created her poster for her to share.  Brian actually had a furlough day this day, and was able to go in and watch her share and present.  :)

 

Tuesday:  Favorite Book

Aubrey has many favorite books, but this one allows you to rhyme a word at the end of each sentence representing each letter of the alphabet.  Somewhere in it, you get to rhyme "chicken coop," with "poop," so, you know...  Poop wins out every time...

 

 

Wednesday:  Sharing Bag

Aubrey got to fill a bag with items that represent her.  She chose:  a fairy wand (because she loves fairies), her ballet shoes (because she loves to dance),  some favorite books that she can read independently (because she loves to read), her soccer trophy (because she played), her Disneyland photo book (to share about her trip), an American Girl catalog with her doll's page marked (mom wouldn't let her bring the real doll), her ladybug bear (because Dad calls her "bug"), her Anna doll from the movie Frozen (because she loves Disney and Barbies), and her sleep mask (because she loves to sleep).  Camryn got to serve as her special guest this day, and even took some video to share with us.  :)

Thursday:  Favorite Snack
Brian dashed over to the school in between meetings that day with donut holes for the class.  Aubrey's favorite.  :)

Friday: Giraffe bag and journal
Because of the timing of her 'Star' week, Aubrey got to keep the giraffe bag all Winter Break!  Mr. Giraffe even celebrated Christmas with us.  :)  We wrote about his adventures in the class journal, but Aubrey's absolute favorite thing in the bag was this costume.  :)  I came downstairs more than one morning over the holiday break, to find her  casually eating cereal, or coloring, in a full-on, head-to-toe giraffe getup.  Like it was no big deal.  Hilarious!  Thank you, Mrs. Bonica, for such a fun week for our little star.  :)
