Thanksgiving & Tree Decorating

Decorating the Christmas tree has always been a fun memory for me.  I love making this a tradition with our kids too.  We cover the tree in all of their ornaments we have collected over the years.  We talk about each one.  Putting the star on top of the tree is another story.  With four kids, it's hard to take turns each year.  So this year Don helped each one put the star on the tree.  Everyone was happy except for one child...guess who?

Clark Games

On Thanksgiving Day, we have our annual Clark Games.  This includes: A Baseball throw, the broad jump, a sprint & a long run.  They really get pumped for it.  There may or may not have been tears falling down a certain someone's face when winning wasn't happening for this individual.  Overall, it's a good healthy competition among siblings where we get to see them at their best....and their worst:)
