Kestin Alyssa Lin: February 2016

College Game

Since I am such a fan now of basketball, my moms have been taking me to a lot of the UNCA women's basketball games this season. So much fun!! In January, we took my friend Gracie along with us too!

Oh yeah, eating treats at the game is a highlight!

...A little one-one-one to pass some time...

We got to meet all the players and they signed my basketball!!

Thanks for joining us for such a fun day, Gracie!!

More B-Ball

Got to go to the local high school in January, and watch the big kids play. As elementary basketball players, we were honored on the court - cool!

And here's me and my elementary team, listening to Coach during a time-out at a recent game...

New Chick on the Homestead

Baby "Christmas" actually hatched on Christmas Day! Her chicken mamma, Cinnamon, is so proud to finally have her own chick to love.

-We've had some snow flurries, but no major snow yet. I'm sure that next month, Mommy will bring the chick and Cinnamon to a cage inside, where they can be snuggly and warm when the really cold weather comes.

Christmas 2015

My letter to Santa, along with yummy homemade cookies and of course carrots for the hungry reindeer :)

"Dear Santa, Please be really nice to Jackson Kris my elf on the shelf. Thanks! I love what you do! Bringing joy to kids who deserve it! Love, Kestin"

Opening a book with Mamma - I do love reading!

One of my fave gifts this year - my Moms commissioned a local artist in high school to create this sculpture for me. It's a replica of the character I made up on my favorite computer game! A cheetah, with a baseball cap, armor and cool black swirls on its fur. Awesome!!

Family time! Aunts Linda, Cheryl, Carol and little Shadow visited for Christmas this year!

Holiday Fun 2015

New to our family this year - my Elf on a Shelf, Jackson Kris!! I really wanted one, so Moms let me pick one out at the store the day after Thanksgiving. Jackson was so thoughtful and just a little sneaky and mischevious. I can't wait to see him again next year!

Aunt Linda sent us some popcorn balls to decorate, so me and my friend definitely dug into that. SWEET!

Dancing in front of the Christmas Tree!!

And yup, our cats Cora and Brody love the tree too :)

Caroling, Winter 2015

Now that I'm in third grade, I got to join the school chorus. I love it just as much as I love b-ball! Before Christmas, we all got to walk the streets of our town and carol for the shoppers on Main Street. We weren't exactly rock stars, but it was a lot of fun to hang out with my friends and make music!
