After we recuperated from the Kalahari plague, we started getting our Christmas decorations out.

Afternoon hike and caching at Honda Open Preserve
Our homeschool co-op had a pinewood derby race. They held it in the youth room of a church; the older kids could watch from up in a loft while Patrick had been coerced into helping run the race.
Austin took 1st place; Amelia took 3rd. Colleen was in 5th.
Dandelions in December in our yard
Our church hosted a Christmas kick-off party where everyone could decorate cookies and cook s'mores among other activities. They also created a sledding hill with fake snow/ice on top of hay bales. Even though Amelia & Austin were not impressed after their first run, Colleen was just so thrilled to be sledding that she kept getting in line.
Austin thoroughly enjoyed the tent with snow for throwing snowballs.
After our pastor gave a short message, they lit up a Christmas tree and had foam coming out of pipes. Austin and Colleen enjoyed getting covered in foam.
We finished up our November art study of Gustav Klimt. Here are their art pieces inspired by his "Tree of Life."
