Fall is Fun!

We love the sound of crunching leaves as we walk to and from school.  We love piling up leaves and jumping in them.  Aleah and Cade like to see how high they can make their pile.  Thankfully, Aunt Crystal had some leaves that we could pile up since our trees are still too little. 

Aleah made this birthday card for her Uncle Todd who is tickling her in the picture.  I love this card!

After giving him the card she sat next to him while he answered all of the questions.  She was very interested in his answers!

Aleah and Cade both painted a picture for the school's Art Walk.  They learned about an artist and then made their artwork to be similar to the artist's type of artwork.

At school Aleah and Cade both made turkeys and had a Thanksgiving party.

Cade's class had a feast.  They each brought a snack to share.

The young men and young women had a goal to make 20 Thanksgiving meal boxes to give to families in our ward who didn't have enough money for a Thanksgiving meal.  Brad took them around the ward to collect the food donations.  Then they sorted it and put it into boxes.  They ended up making over 50 meal boxes.  We were able to help other families in other wards as well and families in our own ward.  It was a really good service project.

Aleah lost her two front teeth!  Just in time for Thanksgiving and Christmas!
