Funny how to us it seems we barely brought any toys at all, while to the little ones next door we have the most amazing and exciting things to play with.
I'm just gushing over here. My second-born took a big step today and made a decision for Christ! We were having a talk in the car on the way to the store about heaven and next thing I know she's over there quietly folding her hands and whispering a prayer to Jesus. When she was done, she looked over at me with a big smile and said, "I have so many blessings from God, Mommy!" Indeed. Happy Born Again Day, Madison Elizabeth! We love you so much.
Brooklyn can't seem to resist writing on the walls. I finally decided to put an end to the battle.... Now she has her own special place in her bedroom to be as creative as she wants (within reason). This can be painted over and it gives her some boundaries while still allowing her to be "creative." I'm not sure she'll have any interest in writing on the wall now that it isn't against the rules but I sure had fun painting on the wall. I'm tempted to paint myself a square to doodle and scribble on.
We really had a wonderful Thanksgiving celebration here at our house. Sean's parents and his sister (who surprised us, we didn't think she could come!), my parents, and my uncle and his girlfriend all came. I can't tell you what an honor it was to have these loved ones in our home this year. Our little house was bursting at the seams...it was great! Speaking of bursting at the seams, we had a very large feast - I cooked a turkey and a pumpkin pie and everyone brought several sides to go along with it. It even snowed, making the day that much more special - for me anyway. Sean built a fire in our outdoor fireplace/kiva and we watched plenty of the Macy's parade and football. Just a really great time. The Table, before we attacked. Brooklyn got her own special table. (Maddie was asleep.) She loved Thanksgiving. This is the first one she's had that she can remember. Getting our food! Empty plates already! Yeah, sure, make the pregnant lady take the kids out to ...
