I think I have the best collections...

I started collecting hot wheels when I was a baby. My mom gave me her set of hot wheels from when she was little(at least 150) that we use as an outside set. My set is strictly inside cars. I am still adding to this collection(around 120 of my own)!

My mom also helped me start collecting stamps since I was three years old. I am not as intrested in this collection as I am the others. I am thinking about giving the stamp collection to Hayley.

My mom gave me a collection of baseball cards that she collected when she was younger. I have just started adding my own collection to it over the past few years. The front of this book is mine(about 20 pages, the rest are from the collection my mom had.)

My favorite collection is the baseBALL collection. This is new and fun. They are hard to find and are more special because of what is on them. And it is all mine, not a handed down collection that someone else started.

Do you have a collection of something?

New Year's Day

New Year's Day we went to my grandparents house to celebrate the day. We have some traditions that we keep every year. One is my Grandfather's homemade chili. This year he shared the recipe with ME.I spent the whole day with him writing down everything we added to his Big pot. I know lots of new things about cooking and about listening to story's he shared with me. It was cold outside but the chili smelled so good!

We did not eat our chili(that weighed 40 lbs. when we were done)for lunch. Grandma was inside making our black-eyed peas, fried cabbage and homemade sausage balls. Another tradition! But that chili was perfect at supper.
