My Sweet Honey

I think the thing I tell Eleanor more often than anything else is, "You are so sweet!"  She is!  She is sweet sweet sweet all the way through.  I wish I could bottle her up just the way she is right now and take her back out whenever I need a little sweetness in my life.  

Estella Breaks Out

Juliette and Brynne built a tower around Estella.  It even had arm holes.  I loved it!  And I love Estella's hair in a bun.  She and some of her classmates plan what they are going to wear to school the next day and how they are going to do their hair so they can match.  Estella is so cute about it and it is fun for me to do her hair the way they have planned it.  She is such a good and fun friend.

Second Thanksgiving

The day after Thanksgiving we took a day trip to Richfield to have a second feast with the Groesbeck clan.  There are so many of them we have to eat at the church.  I am so glad we went.  I just wish I would have had more time to talk to each person.  I don't even think I hugged everyone.  The lighting in the church gym is crazy so I did all black and white to simplify things.  

Little miss Eden played "What does the fox say?" over and over and over.  It wasn't a bit annoying, though, because she was dancing so adorably.  Man, she is cute!

I love my Grandma Groesbeck!  She is one of my heroes.  I adore her.  We (her children and grandchildren) all do.

These two have an adorable connection.  Every time they see each other, they are stuck like glue to each other.  Every time Estella prays, she remembers Gator and his heart troubles.  We love him and his family.

Grandma and Grandpa always request a family talent show after dinner.  We love them so we brought the instruments and played for them.  It was so fun to see how much they enjoyed listening.

Thanksgiving

I was really really bad and didn't take any pictures at Thanksgiving except this one.  Actually I didn't even really take this one, Sally did, but it was my camera.  I love these people.  

Cello Recital

Jackson held his latest recital for his students at The Fountains assisted living facility.  I accompanied the majority of the students, so I didn't take pictures until we were packed up and ready to leave.  Nicholas is carrying on the tradition of the "recital shirt" proudly.  He played Scherzo in Book 3 by...I can't remember who it is by.  He played very very well and was happy with his performance.  Good job Nicholas!!!
