We had a nice Thanksgiving. We all got together at Jodie & McKay's home and enjoyed a yummy feast. My mother-in-law also read a cute Thanksgiving book to the kids and also introduced the book The Sparkle Box, which she gave to each family. Each year for Christmas we take turns picking an organization/charity to donate money instead of buying each other gifts. This year the Selph family got to pick and they had all got all the supplies to make "blessing bags" for the homeless, that included hand warmers, water bottles, chapstick, gum, crackers, tissues, toothbrush/toothpaste... All the cousins assembled them into ziplock bags. We each got to take a few bags home to pass out over the next month. It is already Dec 4th and our Christmas festivities have begun!
Sage also enjoyed one of her last joy school classes. We have decided to postpone joy school until the first of the year and then to just get together once a month. We wanted to keep the group small but with it being so small one or two kids are sick or out of town and we are not left with any friends. It's just a lot of work for just a couple kids. I have tried to continue planning everything as I would and doing the activities with Sage throughout the week at our own leisure. She definitely missed "school class". She always looked forward to it.
