For Luke's school class they had to do a family traditions project where they told where their ancestors are from, about their family now, they did a family tree, and they had to pick a relative to write about. I LOVE how it turned out ....some may be hard to read to I will also type it out...
He picked his Great Grandpa Rose to write about as his favorite family member and he wrote "My Great Grandpa always has a hat on. He also always has boots on. He is related to me because he's my Great Grandpa. I like him best because he tells me I'm going to work on his farm when I am 12."
"We also ride on a four wheeler. I also love my Great Grandpa because he taught me how to ride a horse by myself. I love him so much."
"My favorite holiday is Easter, because it is close to my b-day. I also enjoy it because on Easter we have ham for our dinner. We do a Easter hunt to, my sister Emma always trips! We also go to church."
Christmas "F0r Christmas my family eats clam chowder on Christmas. We do oldest youngest to open gifts."
Easter
"For Easter I get ham with my family."
Thanksgiving
"For Thanksgiving I have turkey."
More Christmas...
"We do talk about the true meaning of Christmas."
"Can you believe my ancestors were Scottish? I was born in Florida. My b-day is April 25 2002. Florida has no mountains but lots of hills. It is a jolly place. I am glad we have no snow because it would be cold. The temperature is usually warm because Florida is close to the equator. My mom makes the best ham in the world. I always look forward to my mom's cooking, because she seasons her ham with a lot of spices. I love her food so much. Her food is terrific. Her food is super flavorful. My Great Grandpa is special because he owns a farm and wants me to come when I am twelve. Some of the things we do together are: ride horses, feed horses, go on walks together."
"What do you eat at home? At home I eat waffles for breakfast, super pretzels for lunch, and ribs for dinner.
Scottish foods...black pudding for breakfast, stovies for lunch, fish supper dinner.
Special occasions...turkey for Thanksgiving, Christmas clam chowder, Easter ham."
So apparently Luke likes my cooking :) Gotta love this project :)

Oh, Sara, that was SOOOOO precious! I would never have gone back that far to check for updates so thanks for letting us know. That will make Great Grandpa's day, week, month, year! All kids LOVE the ranch and all the fun things to do out there and Great Grandpa makes it extra special!
And, obviously, Luke is a BIG fan of your cooking! Doesn't that make all the time spent in the kitchen worth it? Love you, hon! Can't wait to see you!
I just thought I would let you know that I copied your pictures of what Luke wrote about GG Rose and included them with a letter telling him what Luke said (in case he couldn't read on the pics). I will send them off to him tomorrow because we know it will make him so happy! Thanks for sharing, hon!
