January 11th ~ Pictures 11 through 13

January 11th, aside from being our niece's birthday, was also a very full day! I took lots of pictures that day, and since I am at least a little behind pace in my attempt to have 365 pictures from 2013, I thought I would double up, or even use several {my next post will draw a couple pics from Jan. 11th as well} photos from the same day...

Rebekah's class made paper bag puppets, she was so excited to show me the one she made of herself. They were supposed to be making animals.

She did eventually get around to making an animal ~ a frog. I made a pig while I visited her classroom, they were super easy, cute and colorful.

These shirts and other items with the "Get a Grip" slogan have just recently shown up at our gym's pro shop, although I think I have seen them at meets and in magazines for about a year now, but Alyssa is sure the company got the idea from the leo design that she drew and submitted back in July 2011. She knew it was going take off :-)
