Osmo

While I am plugging great gift ideas here is another one that the kids have really enjoyed. It is called Osmo and it works by putting a mirror over the iPad's camera.  You play on the table, but the iPad recognizes what is happening on the surface. It is also educational and this particular math level had Grant stumped so Daddy spent some time trying to conquer it!

Reddish Kids

The kids received a really great subscription service called Raddish Kids for Christmas. Each month they get a box that has a theme of something new to cook, along with a new kitchen gadget and other fun activities. January we celebrated the Chinese New Year and made dumplings, egg drop soup and beef broccoli. We all had so much fun cooking together and making the dumplings. The dumplings were the favorite and we have even made them again!
