Star of the Week

It's half-birthday week at the cold Nak household.  To celebrate at school, it means the girls receive a little extra attention and are given classroom responsibilities, present a bit about themselves in front of the class, act as line leaders, and couple other fun little tasks.  The girls also brought shells from Florida for each of their classmates.

 

We tried to make the most of 2016.  The girls learned how to swim and ice skate, Pip learned how to ride a bike, Nina learned how to read, and they get to be in school together.  As a family, we travelled to Colorado, the North Shore, Nebraska, Battle Lake, and Florida.  We climbed mountains, visited waterfalls, kayaked, hit the beach, and hiked all over trails.  We ate a lot of good food, played a lot of cards, and danced to a lot of music.  Here is the new halvesies video to take a look back at a jam-packed year.

Otherwise, we've been struggling to stay warm.  It's usually too cold to sled or skate, which is all the more depressing after Florida.  We've been playing indoors and with no Children's museum we're currently suffering from some cabin fever.  Vivian has had a bit of trouble adjusting to the early mornings again and has been falling asleep in the car on the way home.  Nina has found this hilarious and likes to take photos of/with her.
