Christmas Party!

Corey hosted a Christmas Party. The girls made a craft (a lovely glittery sign), and then we got serious with treats and games (Name that Christmas Carol, Apples to Apples, Telestrations, Santa Do you Love me?, pass the belgian chocolate with spoons, and a basement dance party).

Art in Nature and Nature in Art

We visited the Peabody Essex Museum with the emphasis of exploring the relationship between art and nature.

The Strandbeesten are here! It was amazing to see these large kinetic beach sculptures in action.

Stickworks- a commissioned outdoor exhibit made entirely of tree saplings

Each girl wanted a turn standing in the rainbow made from a beam of sunlight hitting the upper walkway glass just right

Scale! One of the exhibits we visited

Inside Stickworks

The "beach" at the bottom of the photograph was made with millions of toothpicks

Nature and art in fashion. We have some budding models. Or mannequins.
