Ryn got to meet some extended family at my Grandparents 65th Anniversary party!
She also got to make the first snowman of the season and got to the Holiday Train to donate food, see Santa, and listen to our first bit of Holiday music! We also attended Library Story and Art Time and level 2 Gymnastics weekly.

Rollerskating was  bi-weekly and she only did 1 piano lesson this month because of the holiday.
