Happy Family Day

The other day Addie decided it was Family Day - -and she wished everyone she saw that day a "Happy Family Day!!"

I then found a little display by my front door of some of our family pictures and a little sign that said "happy family day".........

And then I found another little display on the fireplace. I asked her what it was all about and she told me that she picked something that is special to each person in our family and put it up there. Then we would play a game where each person would find their special thing and tell why it was special/important to them. Addie's is the pink bear (named Te-Te that she has had since birth and sleeps with every night) , Gwen's was the purple fruit toy next to it (not really sure what was special - but it pops out to be a little bear and then folds up to be a berry- guess that's special) , Jackson's was the baseball that's in front of the gift bag (Jackson LOVES to throw everything - plus the ball has ToyStory on it - which he loves) , Sam's was the Cal Poly hat(where he graduated the first time and where Addie and Gwenny were born) and mine was the flip flop. :) (which I live in - plus these are THE most comfortable flip flops ever - plus I got them on our trip to SLO and Disneyland which was special)

Inside the gift bag was a bunch of pictures that the kids had made special for each family member

Here is a dinosaur picture that Addie drew for Jackson -- he loved it. :)

The whole thing made me smile. It was a fun day. I love that even tho they have little bodies they have big imaginations and bigger hearts.

Happy Family Day to You!!
