Laurie Ingalls Wilder would be thrilled!

Hannah's 4th grade classes have been studying Colorado History for the past month.  The culmination of this unit is Pioneer Day - coming up this Friday (square dancing, cooking pioneer foods, playing pioneer games, etc)!  Grandma Bev made her the most beautiful dress, apron, and bonnet!  It arrived yesterday :-)

 ...calling to thank Grandma Bev...

 

...going to Dad and Mom's to find "artifacts" to share (pictures, old coins, kitchen utensils)... 

~ AND MY FAVORITE PICTURE ~ 

The broach is the perfect baby blue to match the dress, and it belonged to Hannah's Great Great Grandma Rhoda, AND she's holding a picture of Boppa Tom and Great Aunt Audrey on their confirmation day :-)

This is Blaze, Brian and Margie's new puppy...
