Thankgiving "Thankful For" Turkey

Westin's sister Joseanne, and his Mom made each family these super cute "Thankful For" Turkeys. Every Day in November you pick a "feather" and it has something that you are thankful for. Then each feather has a corresponding gift to unwrap and an activity do to as a family.

It has been so fun to do with Serena every day, and I think that it is helping me more than anyone remember all the little things I am thankful for. Anyway, I am trying to take pictures of it each day and I will try really hard to post them periodically throughout the month. Here's what we have done so far.

November 1- I am Thankful For Our Car!

This day we got token's to get our car washed at the car wash, an air freshener, and a gift card to drive to our favorite frozen yogurt place, YogurtLand, to get a treat. We haven't washed our car yet because it was soooo cold and wet that day, but we will and when we do we will take pictures of it.

November 2- I am Thankful for Books!

We got the book 5 Silly Turkeys and Serena has LOVED it!

November 3- I am Thankful For Missionaries!

We looked at pictures from Westin's mission, Serena got $2 bill from Great Grandpa Judd, and some Guarana (a drink from Brazil), and a little tag that says "Future Missionary"

November 4- I am Thankful For My Bed/Sleep!

Serena got a new pillow case (that she insisted was a dress)

November 5- I am Thankful For Light!

We got a flashlight and we did shadow puppets on the wall. Serena LOVED it! She had so much fun talking to the "duck".

We also read a book by flash light (and by "We" I mean aunt Joseanne and Serena)

Thanks again Joseanne, Marjalee, Alora and Jenni for all the hard work you put into these activities for us!

Well, there you go. Please, Please PLEASE post a comment! I LOVE getting comments, it makes me so SO SOOO happy! Our last post only got 2 comments and I think it was worth WAY more than that... don't you think?

Halloween

This year for Halloween Serena was Katara from Avatar: The Last Airbender (the Cartoon NOT the movie). I made the costume (with LOTS of help from my momma, thanks again mom). Serena did NOT want to pose for pictures, as you can tell by these pictures, these are literally the best ones we could get. Most of the time she was kicking and screaming and not being good for the camera.

This is the first year we went "trick or treating" with her and she LOVED it. It didn't take her long to catch on that all she had to do was say "trick or treat" and she would get candy.

These are pictures from the Ward "Trunk or Treat". I think Westin got pictures of our car on his phone... I'll post pictures of it once I get him to send them to me.

Enjoy the pictures... More updates to come I promise. Don't forget, Post a Comment!
