Birthday

Well, I am now 34 years old. My birthday was February 19. We had a nice family celebration on Sunday with my parents. Brendan and the kids gave me a new digital camera, so I'll be trying that out with lots of pictures. Meredith inherited my old one, so I'll have to post a few of her pictures too. She loves taking pictures. Brendan and the kids made a Chocolate Kahlua cake. Delicious!

On Monday, Mom and I went out for our traditional birthday "tea." This year we took Meredith along as well. She loved drinking tea and eating tea sandwiches and scones.

Jason helped with the cleanup!

100 Day

February 8th was the 100th day of school at North Star. Both kindergarten and first grade had a big day of celebrating. Meredith's class made (and ate!) 100 pancakes. Jeremy's class had a 100-piece snack (10 pieces each of 10 different items). They both made 100 Day projects. Meredith collected household items and displayed them by tying them on a hanger. She had rubber bands, nuts, paper clips, washers, spools of thread, pencils, screws, buttons, safety pins, and keys. She also had a collection of 100 marbles. Jeremy made a poster of ten different food items: tic tacs, rice krispies, life cereal, marshmallows, craisins, chocolate chips, pretzels, m&ms, goldfish, and popcorn. They did a great job!

Winter Concert

North Star Elementary had their Kindergarten/1st Grade Winter Concert on February 7. Each grade sang several songs and also sang one together. The kids had a lot of fun preparing for the concert and also performing. It was an excellent concert. Great job guys!
