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!

That is darling
Why didn't my comment show up here?
Well, I can't remember exactly what I said before, but I thanked you for blogging about the Thanksgiving Turkey. I love hearing about it - that makes it worth the effort!
I 'specially love the big duck video! How clever and cute!
Love you guys!
What a cute idea :) I love it
I think my favorite Serena is "Just Woke up from a Nap Serena." It's an adorable version. I'm also loving the hair under "November 3rd." She really is so stinking cute! Westin's video is also top-notch.
