Thanksgiving!

We went to the Edris's house for Thanksgiving, and everyone was there! The Garvin's, The Martins, Uncle Titus and Aunt Alyssa, The Edris's, Papa Paul and Grandma Janet, and, oh it's a big family! We celebrated Marisol's 3rd birthday there too, and she is growing! The rolls and turkey were great, and we played some fun games outside. Emily and Jenna found the best hiding spot. Me and Grant found them and hid there for a while but everyone else gave up(boo). Anyway, we all had a total blast! We really do have tons and tons and tons to be thankful for.

Basketball!

I started basketball today, and it was very fun! My team is Rediet, Micah, Katerina, Glori, Katelyn, Paige, Elle, Taylor, Taylor's friend, Arianna, Sombre, and I. Only 8 of us were there today. I knew all of the boys but one, and know what? You guys are going to have a fun season. I still like soccer better that basketball though-it's like, my signature sport. Anyway, I had a fun time.

We're back!

We actually went to the cabin!Yeah! And it turned out, we went to the best cabin ever! I wish that I could put a video on, but our computer has trouble uploading them, so you'll have to settle for pictures. Wawi and Poppy(Grandparents) came with, and so did the Michaliks.Our crazy family had a crazy time. Such a crazy time that it was crazy fun! The bedroom upstairs was all for the kids(8 of them up there), the kitchen was packed with food and Baconnaise(yuck, Uncle Steve), and the Living room was a total circus! People Everywhere! I should be used to that. We stayed there from Friday evening to Monday morning, and spent a wonderful time with our family. We also watched the NASCAR race, and I guess this was the biggest one, and Stevie said it was really tense. Jenna and Stevie started a café called the" SJ Café", pretty cool. They gave away free tap water, fake lemonade with fake lemons, marshmallows, frozen, crushed up, brown, apples, and much more quality food. Oh, and Audrey fainted a lot:).Pictures following:

Friends and a Hall of Fame

Esther. Friends are so loving. So caring. You can share everything with them. The dictionary describes them as people you enjoy being with, but the dictionary dosen't know anything. They are so much more than that. My friend Abby came over today, and I can tell her anything. Friends are so trustworthy, don't you think? Anyway, over the weekend, we visited Independence Ohio, near Cleavland. We went to some pretty beautiful waterfalls, and we visited the Pro Football Hall of Fame! We saw some old jerseys of players, a Lombardi Trophy, and even found a geocache near there! For anyone who knows me, I love football, playing it too.
