Wrapping up November

The kids used the money they were gifted at their birthday party to donate to monarch conservation, and received these neat rocks painted by kids in Mexico.

Charley’s (and Madelyn’s!) first sleepover.  Katelyn stayed until around 10, Madelyn and Abbie all night – and the girls all did great!!

I made this magnet set of ALL of our family for C when she was little.  She never had much to do with it.  Trying to revive it for Reed.  Look hard – if you’re a Ress/Thorn/Wittenberg, you’re there!  (Unless you barely got cut off the edge of the pic, or were one of the couple that fell off the magnet and are in my repair pile – promise, you’re all there!!)

Visiting Grandma

We celebrated Thanksgiving Day 1, then Christmas Day 2! 

The kids love taking a bath with her.  They soaked her!  She was a good sport.  Winking smile

Thanksgiving with Grandpa

Reed and I picked a ton of wild pears from his tree.  When we could reach no higher, Grandpa brought us a ladder!  We made about 20 jars of wild pear jelly!
