Thanksgiving was especially exciting this year as it snowed enough that we were able to play in it and attempt to build a snowman. Joseph, Ella, and James also found the snow to be especially thrilling because they discovered that they could eat it and run like crazy people in it.
After taking this picture, Joseph told me that the snow was cold and then ate more snow. Hopefully there weren't too many leaves mixed in with the snow.
I think James was especially frozen from playing in the snow. His cheeks were red and he was eager to go inside to play with toys.
Ella shared the same opinion and was not a fan of staying outside very long.
With rosy cheeks and worn out kiddos, we adjourned to the fabulous playroom and spent the next little while trying to figure out how this delightful toy worked. The cute thing was that James and Ella played together.
This is the little kid's table. I think a little table like this would have been especially delightful. Sadly, the little kids were more interested in playing with each other than admiring the nice table.

William (black shirt) was in an accident with a wood splitter and was blessed to have his injuries limited to the pinky on his right hand. Since the accident, he has not been able to straighten the finger and will need to work with the finger over the next several months to retain mobility. As a way to show their support, the boy cousins from left Richard P, William P, Eric P, Debra (cousin Wedda), and Richard H decided to pose with crooked fingers.
