Guitar Heroine

Keira picked up the guitar last weekend and started to jam on some tunes, inspired by an impromptu lesson from Sam.

Hope it sticks- she was good!

Open Doors

The doors are always open at the Martels, which is extra nice when there are frousins in town.

Emperor

Keira made a felt doll penguin, naming him "Emperor".


She then made him an igloo and a car, which requires 6 ice cubes for fuel.

Don't worry about it getting soggy- the ice cubes are made out of folded paper :)

Indoor Zoo

It's cold outside, so it is nice to have an indoor zoo to visit- courtesy of Lukas, Keira, Kassidy and Lennon.

Love the cat exhibit!
