Karate Belt Promotion

Half way through December.  Now I'm only 2 months behind. :)

On December 15th Little One and I had our karate belt promotions.  We are now well on our way to the next belt but I'm hoping to be caught up before we actually get them.  This time they had one big promotion so she and I actually did it together.  Mom and Dad came and Mom took the pictures.  Thanks!

The Little Stinker wouldn't smile for me but did for Grandma.

Doing our kata

Little One doing her kata.  What is with the lip thing??

See how not flexible I am?  I also had no idea how much the pads at the studio help until I tried all this stuff on these b-ball floors.

Here she is taking off her yellow with her new orange right in front of her.

Yeah orange belts!

Here she and I are with Te.  These guys are amazing in more ways than any of you will ever know.

Snow Fun

Those two words are now an oxymoron to me, though I clearly remember a time in my life when they weren't.  Still, they aren't for my girls so I have pictures to share.  Little One and a couple of her friends went out to make a snowman.  They needed help so Ira went and they all had a blast.  Hating cold like I do, I stayed inside and sent Ira out with my camera to document the event.

This is the adorable granddaughter of my neighbors.  She and Little One love to play together and luckily she visits every few weeks.

The three cuties.  Aren't they adorable??  Mine loves eating the snowflakes.  I haven't figured out how to explain the yucky air those snowflakes have to go through to get to her tongue though....
