Everyone loves to play outside!

 Christine likes to play outside whenever she can!

 Claire takes good care of all of our flowers.

 Christine wants to join her brothers and sisters on bikes.

 Look at all these happy bike riders!

 Christine was not happy when they would ride past her and she was left behind. 

 Then she saw me taking pictures still and decided she wanted me to pick her up. We have a great family!

Bubble Blowers and Babies

Marie and Claire have been working on their bubble blowing skills. They are getting pretty good!

 Claire was helping 'Steen' find her favorite baby.

Chocolate Candy House

 The people that we went to the Sea Life Park with mailed us this candy house to make. The kids loved making it! Pa had to make the base of the house, but the kids did all the decorating.

 Great job! It looks delicious!

Kids and Toys

 Christine loves Pa's rocking horse.

 The nerf guns are always a hit.

 We always have good crafts going on over here.

 Christine is rocking the stand-up pony.

Mochi Tsuki

 Marie was working my favorite table. She was helping make the mochi dessert table.

 Claire is a rice pounding beast.

 Theodore was a good mochi helper and a good mochi muncher.

 I absolutely LOVE handmade mochi. It is so soft and delicious.

Marie also showed them her muscles!
