Thankful

It's almost Thanksgiving and we've been very thankful around here!  Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays - you get to eat, see family, and it's not about the decorations and gifts.  (Although, to be fair, I am obsessed with Christmas decorations...)  Here are some things that we've been up to lately!


Although we aren't spending Thanksgiving at our house, we have had a fun time decorating for the season.  We have lots of pumpkins and turkeys around here!






At the beginning of the month, we made a "Thankful Tree."  There were no rules - if C was thankful for 10 things one day and then we skipped a couple of days that was okay.  The first few days were hard for her understand.  She kept saying she was thankful for the wall...  She finally got that we are thankful for family and friends and things that we love.  There are still some random things on here, but she did a pretty good job!




The final list of what we are thankful for are: (in no particular order)
outside, Daisy, Raughley and Liam, sandwiches, Cohen, juice boxes, Rosemary, Trey, Caroline, Sydney and Brooklyn and Ms. Sarah, movies and popcorn, Mimi and Papa, Ann Parker, Grammy, Mommy and Daddy, Chambers, my house, Jack and Sam, veterans, Kiki, dance, flowers, windows, Charlotte, storytime, blankets, gates, AP, Caroline M., Ms. Lillian, Ms. Debbie and Ms. Shay

Last Friday, the girls had their Thanksgiving programs at school.  Ann Parker had her Thanksgiving Snack and she looked like a little doll.  They made these cute little aprons to wear and they were adorable.







She spotted her bestie, Brooklyn, across the room so she had to have a hug!  (Her face in the above picture is her seeing B)


After the snack, AP and I headed to Caroline's Thanksgiving Feast.  What a feast it was!!!  Each grade brought different foods - turkey, dressing, vegetables, fruit, salad, bread, dessert.





We tried to take a family picture (minus Adam who was away at trial) but it didn't go so well...





Oh well, still so incredibly thankful for these two precious blessings.  I still cannot believe that I get to be their mommy!!
