Lights and trees

Helping hang up lights

Look at me!

At the Christmas Tree Farm - Say cheese!

How about I throw straw instead?

This little tree needs a hug.

We brought that little tree home and decorated it.

Preparations for Christmas

I painted a tree and my friends and I decorated it

All done.

Happy Aye-Aye's Adventures at Vivi's House

Vivi's class has an Aye-Aye (type of primate that lives in Madagascar) that they've named Happy. The children are taking turns bringing it home, taking it on adventures and filling in a journal about Happy's adventures. We had Happy last weekend. Happy and Vivi had many adventures!

Vivi introduced Happy Aye-Aye to all her other friends.

And took Happy to the carousel.

Vivi took Happy to the touch tanks and pointed out the seastars

Finger, foot, and chin painting - with Videos!

I told mommy I wanted to finger paint.

But then I thought foot painting would be even more fun.

Have you ever tried chin painting?

Whole body painting.

Mommy, do I look like a clown?

Trick-or-treat!

Wow. Look at this house!

Vivi had a great time trick-or-treating. But she had an even better time handing out candy after she finished trick-or-treating. She was shouting from the door "Come to Vivi's house. Vivi's house has candy!"
