Back to School!
September 1st our children started school. They were all very excited to start school after a long summer vacation. This year Gabe, Eddy, Wendy, Debbie and Abby started 5th grade. Hollie, Graham, Sarah, Mark and Emma started 4th grade. Ellie and Zoey are in 3rd grade. Anna, Gene and Lester started 2nd grade. Noah, Crystal, and Frank are in the 1st grade. Thomas, Chris and Danny are in a pre-first grade getting them ready for 1st grade. And Jake and Joey are in their last year of kindergarten.
Michelle home schools our three sons. (left to right) Jaxin is in the 5th grade, Eli is in the 4th grade and Tyler is in the 3rd grade.
Jake (top) and Joey (bottom) showing off some of their loot that all the children received for the festival.
Every year for the Mid-Autumn Festival we all sit around a bonfire singing songs and telling stories. We also shoot off some fireworks. Bonfires and shooting off fireworks for the festival is not a Chinese tradition; we decided to make it our family tradition:)
Each child received 2 moon cakes, a big apple, 10 dates, a handful of sunflower seeds, peanuts and some candy.
