Holiday Lights, Shenanigans, and Life

We went downtown in Turlock and watched the Lighting of the Tree then walked around and caught the end of the street fair. It was so nice to come downtown and walk around.

Madi and Natalie downtown by the xmas tree.

Merek, Nic and Natalie downtown

Merek wanted to get his face painted but he wanted the Grinch on his face and that was not an option on their drawing list but the lady said she could make it happen and she did! It looked great!

                          The next day we went to Modesto and walked around the mall and then went downtown to the MOD festivities. It was really cool and all of us had fun seeing all the local vendors.

Merek and Lex were excited to see the police horses so he stopped and gave them a sticker.

A really cool ring Lexi picked up from the street fair @ MOD its the workings of a swiss watch that a lady made into rings.

Natalie going to Merek's school to teach a program on Positive Solutions For Families. They had asked her to teach the class after she became the representative for out school site in the district. Last few classes were a huge turnout so she is pretty excited to get back in there and give more tools and resources to families on child development and teaching positive communication. Just something on the side she has been enjoying and it helps her really be hands on in Merek's development and preschool program.

Natalie all excited to get in there and teach her stuff:)

Complete contentment!
