Happy birthday daddy

Today we celebrated Jeff's birthday #?. Don't worry, I am younger than him and I remind him often enough.

THANKSGIVING

We drove to my parent's house for Thanksgiving. It was of course wonderful food. Jennifer is finally back home from her internship in CA and we got to see her engagement ring. Of course, my dad fed turkey scrapt to the dogs, and after many dishes, we had our usual marathon of card playing.

MISC

Saturday we went to the mall and I had my camera with me, so we took some photos. You may see this on the Christmas card.

Ruth did her book report on Emily Dickinson. The students have to dress like the character and after sewing a skirt really quick, and rummaging through her sister's closet, Ruth was a dead ringer for her character. She got an A on the report.

Ruth also completed her photo for a state wide science competition. The hardest challenge was to get the dog to stand still for a moment.

The girls have selected a dress to wear to their cousin's engagement party-next January. Sara will also get to wear her dress for her band concert, and they will wear them for the daddy-daughter valentine dance in February. I was so glad that 1-they both liked the dresses and 2-they were greatly marked down.
