Snow

I like snow a lot. It is fun to play in. Last year we built an igloo. I want to make another one this year. Today we had the first snow! (It is Monday, December 17, 2012.) I like to go sledding down our driveway. I also want to build a snowman this year. I can't wait for Christmas! Except that I can. I think snow represents Christmas. It always comes at Christmas time!

Winter Advents

I love winter. It is the time of Christ's birth. It is my favorite time of year. I like decorating the tree together and going Christmas shopping and picking out things that we think our siblings would like. Opal got to put the star on the tree this year. We have a thousand advents. First, the chocolate calendars. Then we have the socks. When its our turn we pick a sock and open it. There is always a candy inside. Sometimes it is two. Then we have the tree. When it is our turn, each morning we light the tree. And we have the calendar. A long time ago, Mama made a cloth calendar. In the first pocket, there is always the star of Bethlehem. The last one is Baby Jesus. And last we have advent. Each morning at devotions, if its our turn we light a candle. We let it burn for the rest of devotions until it is prayer time, then the person who lit it, will blow it out.

Christmas

I love Christmas. It is my favorite time of year. We always have a nativity cake with the nativity people made out of chocolate. My favorite part of Christmas is mama waking us up and having us all meet in the living room reading Jesus' birth. Every year mama makes all of us matching  Christmas jammies. Cousins and Grandma and Grandpa  always come. I love opening the presents in my stocking. There is always candy. I can never think of what I want for Christmas when someone asks me what I want, but then on Christmas morning, I open a present and say, ''this is exactly what I wanted!' Nonnie and Poppie come on Skype. We always open the presents in the stockings first. I also love our Christmas tree.

Thanksgiving

This Thanksgiving we went to cousin's house. Nonnie and Poppie and Mimmi and Doddie and Mr. Steve came to. Pella didn't want anyone to hold her but me and  Mama. While all the other kids watched a movie, I ate with the adults. Then Pella played the game '' Run away when cousins try to hold you.'' I hold Pella and try to give her away, but then Pella kicks her legs and holds on to me extra tight and giggles. I also tried to catch the boys, but they were to quick. We had a lot of food. I got really full. My favorite was the yams with marshmallows. My favorite part of Thanksgiving was holding Pella. And we ate happily ever after.

My thankful poem

I am thankful for my chickens and bees, although the chickens attract some fleas.I am thankful for my brother named Jasper, but sometimes he turns into grasper. I am thankful for my friends. They are always around the bends. I am thankful for my dad. He makes me happy when I'm sad. I am thankful for God. He created me to live eternally.

The Corn Maze

The corn maze was clown themed this year. We invited the Kinneys.
 They didn't have the cow that we usually take pictures on so we did in in the barn. 
 There were lots of tunnels. This is us in front of one.
 When you first come into the corn maze, you see a clown car. It is stuffed with pumpkin people. This is Eben looking at it.
 This is Jasper waiting  for his turn to stamp his paper. 
(They got soaking wet.)

At the end, we went and got some cold apple cider. This is me drinking some.

The boys loved it too of course.

This is Eben meeting the lion trainer.
The lion trainer said we could tame and ride the lion. 

 I love the corn maze. The End.

Fall

Orange Yellow Red Brown,
leaves fall to the ground. 
I see pumpkins glitter in the dark. 
I hear our neighbor's dog bark bark.
Leaves glide. Leaves slide. 
I see jack 'o lanterns smile.
I see friends go to school in style. 
Harvest Carnival is fun. 
We say good bye to the sun.
I like treats, as well as sweets. 
We go to the corn maze and get lost. 
It gets chilly and starts to frost.
 I see the weather change. 
I see fall decorations get arranged.

The Missing Child Once Again

Anna went over to some branches and peeked behind them. Just some more bunnies. She got thirsty so she went over to the spring to get a drink. Then sunnily, something caught her ear. It sounded like footsteps. Someone was coming! Then she heard voices.''Hey Bert how far in the forest are we? ''A half mile, Charles. '' ''Great, we should find all those bunnies!'' Oh no! That sounded like bunnie hunters! Anna Huddled close to some bunnies.

The Missing Child

Once there was a brown haired girl. She lived in a large family.There were nine kids in it. She was the 4th child. One day when her family was eating their pb & j sandwiches at the park, the girl decided to take her lunch to another part of the park. She asked and got permission. The park was surrounded with forest. The girl went to the forest. She spotted a black rabbit. She followed it deep into the forest. Back at the picnic, her family was getting ready to leave. Her mother started to call for her. '' Anna, time to leave!'' she called. No answer. Back in the forest, Anna started to wonder how deep into the forest she was. She looked around. Nothing but a tiny spring and couple of bunnies nibbling on grass were there. She wondered if she could get back in time to leave. (She was a half mile from the picnic spot.)

The Not So Lucky Turkey

Once upon a time, out in the country, there was a family. They had a plump brown turkey. It was a fine fall day and the turkey wanted to visit his friend, Tyler the turkey. But when he found him, he was hiding.
"Why are you hiding?" he asked.
"Don't you know? Tomorrow's thanksgiving!''
''Yeah! Then we can eat all the dinner we want!''
''No silly, we are the dinner!''
''Oh, don't be so ridiculous. Uh-oh. I hear my owner coming. I better get back in my pen…hey, where did all the lights go? Wait a minute, am I in the family's present sack! Hey, why am I on the stump where we chop wood? Uh-oh. He's raising his ax and…its coming down!"

 Thanksgiving- ''Mmm… this turkey is good.''

The Missing Donkey

Once upon a time, in a little brick house on a green hill, there was a girl. Her name was Suzzy. Suzzy had big eyes and brown hair. She had a small brown donkey. Every day she would ride her donkey to her friend's house. Her friend's name was Tonya. Tonya loved golf. She had blond hair and blue eyes. Every day Suzzy and Tonya  would go to the market to get free cookies. They would tie Suzzy's donkey to an old palm tree.
One day, when Suzzy and Tonya were getting chocolate chip cookies, Suzzy's donkey got away! Suzzy didn't  notice at all until they were ready to leave.
''Oh no!'' she cried. ''My donkey, Max, is gone!" Suzzy and Tonya looked in the market and out, but they couldn't find Max. When they got back to Suzzy's house, they found Max in his stable!
"Hooray! We found him! I love you, Max," Suzzy whispered.

The Beach And The Lake

I love the lake. It is fun to swim in. I like to wake board in it. Dada takes me almost every night in the summer. The beach is fun too. Jasper spends a lot of time playing in the sand when friends come over. We like to pick blackberries. In the lake we swim out to the buoy. Once Mama and I took a boat half way across the lake. I think that the beach is good place for eating dinner. When I look off the deck I can see the whole lake. Well, I love the lake and the beach. Bye!

I am going to do a blog about Jasper. This is him after he was born.
This is him laying on a towel.

When we went to a sheep farm he fed a baby sheep!

Once he had a styrofoam fight with Opal.
This is him opening a present.
Once he had a reindeer that pooped candy.

In this picture he is siting inside the monster tent.
Cute Jasper in the snow.
Him on a railing while waiting in line for something.
Every year at Easter, we get baby chicks.This is him holding his.

And this is him in jail. I love my little brother.
