Prayer of Thanksgiving

Dear God,

We are so thankful for all the things you have given us. We are blessed every day by your mercy and kindness. You allow us to have an abundance of things that we need and so much more. Not only have you given us the gift of salvation, but every day you offer us your wonderful grace. We never want to take these things for granted. We know that every good and perfect gift comes right from your hands. Thank you for the sacrifice that brings us life each day.

Love,

All of us

 

 

 

Dear Sophia,

What a busy week! I loved going to the kids' museum (and Lilly loved riding in the wheelbarrow!). I can't believe that they have a tiny grocery store with tiny carts and a tiny cash register. It was so cute! Mama says we were very efficient shoppers and she would like to see us to act that grown up when we are at the real grocery store. But grocery shopping is when I usually like to sing really loudly or pretend to be a kitty and can't decide whether I want to ride in the cart or walk.

It was fun shopping for Project Christmas Child. Mama says we will be able to find out where our shoeboxes went with all of our gifts. Leesia and Lilly are all ready for Christmas with their reindeer headbands! Lilly told me that she would like a ballet outfit for Christmas, but I told her to wait and see and that it is better to give gifts than to get them. That's what I've heard, anyway.

XOXOXO,

Scarlet

PS Next week is Thanksgiving! I can't wait!!!!

 

 

 

 

Dear Leesia,

Poor Scarlet and Sophia were sick this week. I'm glad that you and I were able to cheer them up. Playing teaparty train was a lot more fun than I thought it would be. I didn't realize that there was so much singing on train trips, not to mention tea! I love the necklace that Sophia made for me. She said that now everyone can tell as apart because my necklace is a purple heart and yours is a pink heart. And Scarlet and Sophia match us! Look at this picture of all four of us in our new outfits. Sophia says next week we can have a fashion show and take pictures of all our new clothes! After all, our wardrobe has to be ready for the busy holiday season.

XOXOXO,

Lilly

 

 

Dear Lilly,

Can you believe that Scarlet and Sophia had a surprise party just for US? They said they wanted to celebrate our "homecoming" and let us "meet" the family. It was the best party I've ever been to! Our new party dresses are pretty and so perfectly pink. And I've never had red cupcakes before have you? They were YUMMY. There were even presents to open! I love my new little teeny beanie baby. I'm naming her Henrietta. Sophia told me that Thanksgiving is coming up soon and it is an even BIGGER party with even more delicious food. Can you imagine?
I love our new home.

XOXOXO,
Leesia

 

Dear Scarlet,

I had so much fun on Halloween. Dressed up like Fancy Nancy, I think we had the fanciest costumes in our neighborhood, but carrying all those accessories made me sleepy! Good thing we had lots of candy to perk us up. Leesia was a little afraid because she heard Halloween can be SCARY, but it was really fun, and not spooky at all. We saw lots of costumes, like the Wizard of Oz and Charlotte's Web, and someone dressed up like Belle from Beauty and the Beast! My favorites were Jesse and Buzz LightYear from ToyStory. We even got to see a pony and slide down a big slide. I loved that slide and even though I know you were kind of nervous, I'm so glad you tried it too! Mama says that we can only have one piece of candy a day. She says that will still last us until Christmas, and then, guess what? We'll get MORE candy! I love holidays.....


XOXOXO,

Sophia

PS Daddy said that going to the polls would be a good experience. But standing in line didn't seem like anything very special. Lilly was excited to have vote in her first election, though. She is proud to be a made-in-America Waldorf doll.
