Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving was fantastic and we have a lot to be thankful for!  We started the day by making our Thankful Tree.  We all wrote down what we were thankful for and tied the leaves to the tree.  It was really fun and delightful to watch Brielle get into the project and come up with so many things to be thankful for.  Our leaves included Mommy, Daddy, Brielle, Carson, Grandma, Papa, Grandma Carolyn, G, all of our aunts and uncles, food, nice weather, toys, the abc's, Mizzou, Royals, and the list goes on!  We watched the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade (one of my favorite traditions).  Grant ordered our Thanksgiving dinner from HyVee and it was delicious!  I highly recommend it!  We didn't even have to shower or get out of our pajamas on Thanksgiving.  I'm pretty sure I want to do this every year.

 

I really liked how Brielle wrote her own leaves and sounded most of the words out herself.  Way to go Brielle! 

 

Brielle made this Christmas necklace. 

Thanks Ashley and Paxton for a great big sister gift! 

 

Brielle did lots of hair on Thanksgiving.  By fixing hair I mean getting every product I own and spraying and/or wiping it on our heads.  By the end of the day we looked like we were wearing helmets.  It also took at least three baths to get all of the product out of her hair.  Good times!  Not so good looks!   

 

Check out that helmet.  Now check out Carson's mohawk.  Carson got a bath and his hair naturally lends itself to a mohawk right now.  Pretty cute if I do say so myself! 

 

We are thankful for so much this year!  Happy Thanksgiving!
