John 14:27

“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” (NIV)

Thankful

We had Thanksgiving at our house this year. It was fun. I had so much fun making the big feast. Who knows, maybe it wouldn't be as much fun if I had to do it every year. Once every 7 years, it was time! Hope you had a wonderful and thankful Thanksgiving. I am thankful for my family, near and far. I am thankful to be able to see most of them this year.

Christmas, here we come!

Gingerbread Fred

Ava came home with Gingerbread Fred today. Each person in her class gets to take him home for a night so he can see what it is like at their house. They had to write about their adventures with Gingerbread Fred. It was so funny to watch Ava take him around. She did everything with him. She played memory and candy land with him, read him a story and played in her room with him. It was quite the experience. After all the kids have had the chance to bring Fred home, they will develop the camera that came with him and make a book with each child's picture and story. What a fun project!
