Happy Veterans Day! I wanted Rileigh to understand what Veterans Day is all about and why it's such a special day! She made "Thank You" cards to take to the VA nursing home to hand out to the veterans. She was so excited and proud of her cards!



This year at school she has learned the pledge of allegiance. Every time she sees a flag she stops and says it! (very cute) At the ceremony we attended they started out with saying the Pledge of Allegiance. She placed her hand over her heart and said every word--very proud moment for a parent! During the ceremony she kept asking when can I hand my cards out mommy!!! And why are there so many old people here..lol!

Of course we didn't make enough cards for everyone so I told her to look around and see who she wanted to give them too.. The people really loved them and put a smile on there faces! I hope one day she realizes what a good thing she did today! It was such an honor to be in a room full of people that gave us our freedom and risked their lives for us!
