Friends, Christmas Skate night and Campfire

 

Nathan, Lily and Naomi are in the same class of 2nd and 3rd graders.

More 2nd and 3rd grader classmates playing after school and building a fort... Stephen, Nathan, Tara, Lucy Mae and little Talia (not a 2nd grader yet).

And another fort... lots of rocks! Naomi, Nathan, Sarah and Lucy Mae

Getting ready for Campfire time! Every Saturday night, we enjoy company of neighbors and guests.

Thanksgiving!

 

We enjoyed Thanksgiving dinner with many friends this year, 32 of us in total.

We weren't sure if we would be able to have apple pie for Christmas due to the lack of apple supply. But thankfully Jacob found enough apples in a grocery store in town!!

Ready for Thanksgiving dessert!

Everyone brought food and I baked the chickens. No turkeys in PNG. But we all enjoyed some yummy food!

Reading, Playing and Running

 

Jonathan loves to read!

Naomi also loves to read!!

Jonathan has started taking flute lessons and even got to perform at a recital. 

And Naomi is taking some piano lessons too!
