Family Reading Night

We missed Jia's Family Reading Night at school, so we decided to host our own. We started by making bookmarks out of beads and colorful wire.

Here Jia is comparing colors of wire:

And pondering her bead selection:

Willa is organizing hers:

Everyone is busy at work:

And having fun:

Our bookmarks!


Here's how they work:

We then ate some bookworms!

Finally, it was bedtime, so we each selected a favorite book to read out loud and piled into our bed. Willa went first. She tried her best to sound out each word, and expertly showed us all the pictures. Jia then read her book to everyone loud and clear. I'd like to say that Joe and I read our books but alas, at that point, things went downhill. Almost simultaneously, Willa started getting overtired and Jia got a bloody nose, so that concluded the evening.

Nevertheless, it was fun while it lasted! We're glad our girls (usually) love reading!
