<<< Thanksgiving Parties >>>

This is how the kids walked out the door this morning.
Hadassah had this dress from last year and Matthew, well, we quickly cut one of Mike's old shirts. 
I frilled the sleeves and we put them over his pant legs.  We cut a piece off from the shirt waist and
frilled it for a belt!  He was happy with how it turned out!
Matthew made this Indian band at school and it was the perfect finishing touch to his outfit.
First grade made this neat craft during their party.
I was back and forth with first and fourth grade.  I helped a little in each class.
Here is Hadassah with her good friend Courtney.
"Indian Girls."
Even though these were not homemade, they looked great for the fourth grade dessert!
Thank you teachers for teaching our children about Christ, relationships,
and all the education they will need for life!  We are blessed!

8 MONTHS OLD ...
Ashlyn is 8 months old today.  She just starting pulling herself up!  She loves sitting beside her big block toy and grabs hold of the wire toys on top and lifts herself to a standing position.  Her favorite thing to do is watch the kittens outside the back door.  She leans tight against the glass doors and watches them run around on the back porch.  She loves playing with Ginger too.  She will crawl up to Ginger and grab the doggy toy.  Ginger will of course pull back and sometimes Ginger even pulls Ashlyn around on the carpet.  I know these two will be great friends! 

Ashlyn still has no teeth.  She's eating more foods like toast, rolls, Cheerios's, etc..  She can drink water from a sippy cup.  She loves her blanket and nuk for nap time!

She's becoming a mama baby.  When she sees me, she wants me.  (Makes me feel good!)

This is one of her many facial expressions this morning!!!
Have a blessed Thanksgiving!!!
