Thankful Turkey!

Growing up, every Thanksgiving, we would sit around and each name things we were thankful for as we filled up the feathers of a family drawn turkey.  It would often take a long time and the things we were thankful for ended up being the things we could see in the room.

This year I decided to make an October Thankful Turkey.  I made it and hung it up the 1st of October and each day we write some things we are thankful for.  Anyone who visits our house also get's to add to the turkey.  It is wonderful to see and constantly be reminded of what we are thankful for; and interesting to see the things that are accidentally on there multiple times.

Thanksgiving Morning- before taking it to Thanskgiving Dinner

Here is our final Thankful Turkey.  I am so grateful that we were able to do this this year and fill our holiday with thanks.  Every day I still think of things that I am thankful for and I am grateful that I have started living with more gratitude.

Favorite Sweater!

10/7- A family in our ward got this sweater at the thrift store and said that the moment they saw it they just had to get it for Elizabeth. I didn't initially think it was that cute but Elizabeth LOVES IT!! (And it is adorable on her) She has warn it for the past three days straight (not just when we go outside) and even insists on wearing it to bed (I can sometimes get her out of it for meals, so it doesn't get messy, and she relents on the bathtub). Thank you Peck family for this treasure!!


October Photo Journal!

 Welcome October! Witches hat and shorts! (9/28)
 10/2- With the babies, this looks like it should say ‪#‎morningsickness.  
She's just checking out her accomplishment!
10/2- Elizabeth stuck her foot in a tub of hummus.
 I guess that's what I get for having us eat a snack on the couch!
10/3/2014- Making Sugar Cookies- she loved rolling out and 
cutting out the cookies but didn't really like frosting them (weird).
10/7- She is the block queen! She loves it!
10/13- I don't know why but Elizabeth likes Q-Tips. She stole them from the bathroom 
and put them in herself (no I don't usually let her do this, I just thought it was funny.)
 10/20- Elizabeth likes to vacuum but on this day she did it a bit grudgingly because she was vacuuming up some crackers that she dumped on the floor.
A HUGE pumpkin growing on the side of the path that we walk to the Library. 
10/16- While at the park on Thursday I looked at Elizabeth and 
decided that last years winter clothes are too small- haha. 
She is now in Gwyn's cute winter clothes (a bit big but much more modest)
 Elizabeth got a little table from the Newson's neighbors, Chriest's, and we have been having constant tea parties.
10/17-  I made cookies, so we had a real tea party with milk and cookies (usually it's just make believe). And Elizabeth's chocolate covered face.
10/20- She had a tea party underneath the table and I found her just sitting there upside down- I watched her for almost 5 minutes before I took the picture. I have no idea what she was doing.

10/20- Elizabeth has started coloring things on purpose.
 I love seeing her develop and grow. She fully laid on the table yesterday while coloring.

 10/28- While helping prepare dinner Elizabeth decided
 to just eat the cheese- straight from the block!
Elizabeth climbed onto a friends lap during sacrament meeting- 
this is how they entertained each other.

Selfies!

This might seem a little egotistical but I love to take selfies with my mini me!  We have a screen on the front of our camera and it is fun to take pictures together!! I just love Elizabeth!
