St Nicholas's feast day, Puzzle and Helping


My little brother found a 3D puzzle of the white house.
I enjoyed putting it together.



Our Christmas tree. Mom saved adding
adding ornaments until the third week of Advent. When the church goes from  preparing for the second coming of Christ to celebrating the first coming.


I was excited to see candy canes on the tree.


Saint Nicholas left each of my siblings and myself a juice pouch and two coins.
I enjoyed the juice, but savored the coins a little longer. Remembering that they stand as a reminder of the story of Saint Nicholas and the three daughters.

If you would like to read a bit about it. There's a link at the bottom of this post.


I took a few sister's to help my grandma decorate.


We worked for a good 3/4 hours.


And we mainly focused on lights. I love helping my grandmother decorate.

Art class


I'm giving my little siblings and a few cousins an art class. 



It was surprising to see that the ones I thought would be extremely interested are the ones who don't care. Even more surprising the ones of whom are least likely to focus are my most attentive students.


I walked around and gave tips and insiteful  points.




I didn't get to see this until afterwards.
I love the practice it will eventually pay off.





Decorations at Work.


I came to work one morning and my head manager asked me to help decorate.
It was a lot of fun!
We wrapped the pictures.


This tree skirt is gorgeous.


We were missing a lot of decorations for tree.


I improvised these red bows and silver flowers complemented the rest of the tree.

Thanksgiving Time

My dad's family Thanksgiving.



I'm not very good at taking pictures. 


Lots of drama.




Our squadron participated in Watertown's Christmas parade.



We built our plane again this year.
Much better than last year.


Lots of snacks.




I just loved how we had this tag on while we were building.
Yes we did take it off before the parade.


I have learned and improve much through the Civil Air Patrol.




She always has time for food.


Working as a team.


Lots of lights!



Red on one side,


Green on the other!



We did have a controller.
Our adult crew help in many ways.

Every day life
