Xander and Clare

Rehearsing for Author's Night.


The big event. Xander's entire program (grades K-5) held its annual
Author's Night, where each child reads a book he or she has written
to their parents and their classmates' parents.


Clare was more interested in the play kitchen in Xander's classroom.


Reading to Michael and Clare.


Reading to Jackson's parents and sister.




Xander's class had a Thanksgiving party today, where they made apple cider in this
antique press, made apple crisp, and did a bunch of Thanksgiving-related projects.










Eating long ribbons of apple peel.






Grammy Eve sent an enormous amount of baking supplies (including aprons
that she tie-dyed for X and C) in preparation for her arrival in a couple weeks.
There's apparently going to be a lot of baking.


Clare can't stop shaking all the little bottles of sprinkles.
