We had a delicious and industrious Thanksgiving holiday at the Ball Team house. There was a turkey:
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! In the spirit of "an attitude of gratitude", our family made a word cloud of some of the things we are thankful for!
Samantha is Jay Michael's favorite playmate - everyday stuff becomes something to "play". So sweet.
Rachel loves to climb trees. (My favorite toy when I was a kid was a set of four big trees on our neighbor's land. Great climbing trees.)
More climbing -- Yes, this is Jay Michael. He climbed up there, but yelled - OMA - for me to get him back down. Charlotte takes responsibility for the ladder position.....
Speaking of Charlotte - she gave me a love note. In case you can't read it, it says - I love my Mom and Dad. Then a picture of Dad, Charlotte and Mom in a heart surrounded by more hearts. So sweet.
This is Josephine showing off her treats. She has taken to collecting all coins she finds around the house. She had "collected" about $1.25. While we were at the store, she announced that she wanted to spend her money and she had it with her. She bought three Starburst - family favorite - since they were three for a dollar. Bargain. AND, she shared with everyone. So sweet, too.
How to eat cereal, by Jay Michael - first, you pick out all the marshmallows...
Just a day at our house.
I had a great afternoon the other day - I got to be in the first grade again. I was one of the Mom's helping with Charlotte's class Halloween party. We had plenty of treats, games and vampire teeth all around. Six is such a fun age!
Charlotte is standing - second from the right (bright green shirt). Green fangs! To her right is Kamden (grey shirt), her friend from church and now school, too! His family just moved into our school boundaries, and they are in the same class!! Yeah!!
