Thanksgiving 2014

We are very thankful for everything what we have.
For our meal we went to Mika's house where we also met babcia Basia, dziadek Stasio, ciocia Ala and ciocia Marta with Bartek.
We played Thanksgiving bingo, color some and eat!
Gabi helped me make fruit turkey.
It was a very pleasant day.

Early Christmas present

Gabi has her letters (yes, multiple) already in the window. One of the items on the list was a balance beam. Santa did not want to wait until Christmas since it is already cold and they can use it in the basement but also it is a big thing to carry around. He also got a gymnastic mat for Patrick's wrestling with tata and Gabi's flips.
And our Elf Matti had to deliver it. He came with another Elf - a girl for Gabi whom she named Anabella.
Per Gabi - this was the best day ever. She so so loves Santa!

Parent-teacher conferences

Both Gabi and Patrick are doing great at school.
Patrick has very neat hand writing and is really good at math.
Gabi's teacher read her this and made her sign it.
Both of them made us very proud.

Visit with Santa - Oakbrook Mall

We went to see Santa today! We had to design a sled and then we flew to North Pole to see him. He was amazing!!!

Go Wolves - our first hokey game

Yesterday we went for ours first hokey game. We had an amazing time. We went to see Chicago Wolves. They had a great opening, with fireworks and laser show. They were making us make lots of noise, there was a fight to watch and they won! Gabi and Patrick did not want to leave:)

Gabi and her gymnastics moves

Patrick loves school!

A note from Patrick's teacher:

Mrs. Nazar,

Just letting you know, Patrick has been such a role model lately for the class.  He's been so helpful and really following all the expectations and being a good example. Great participation level and raising his hand all the time.    I told him I'd let you know!

Thanks,

Fairy books rock

Gabi is crazy about book series - Faries. It made her read books like they are fresh buns:) I love it! She even takes them for her play dates with Izabella - her reading buddy from 2nd grade at Conrad Fisher.
