Great video! Great contest! And a great celebratory way to recognize ATP's 3rd birthday.
And what a nice living room full of Whitingers! Thanks kids (and parents!) for being a part of it all.

So funny - I must be really tired after spending the day at a family get-together, because when we came home and I checked in on ATP and saw this thread, even though I knew about the drawing, when I saw Dave's "the drawing is finished" all I could think of was "what kind of picture is Dave drawing?" Hilarious!

Very cute video with the kids (you too, Trish), and congrats to all the winners! Thumbs up

I had seen the anniversary thread but thought it was only for people to post 'short rhebus-type post cards' and I didn't understand what that meant.
Happy (belated) anniversary to ATP.
Happy for all the winners!! Hurray!

@janwax Welcome! After you have learned about how to acquire more acorns, you can join the fun by posting photos, giving tips, etc.
Any day you wake up on the sunny side of the grass is a good day.
