Thadeus the Thankful Turkey

We had a great Thanksgiving! Thanksgiving just might be my FAVORITE holiday! I love love love getting together with extended family and sharing a meal and warm thoughts together. I happen to think that gratitude is the key to living a happy life. We felt especially blessed this year since we happened to be able to share the holiday with two more children. Really who would of thought! Last year at this time I didn't even know I was pregnant yet and here I am a year later with not only two but four wonderful children! I posted something on Facebook everyday that I was thankful for. Believe me, some days by the end of the day I had to really think hard but I could always come up with some type of blessing from the day.

we spent the month giving Thadeus our Thankful Turkey feathers by thinking of things that we were thankful for! It was really fun to see the boys think of things they were they were thankful for! About half the time Max was thankful for Jesus :) It was cute and I loved it! I think one of my favorite moments was when he declared he was thankful for "Toop Toop and Melia!" at the top of his voice in such a cute sing song way! Some of our other favorites were friends, going to preschool, the Barkers, snowflakes, dolphins, Daddy, food and "this pizza right here." We loved it and I think we have started a new tradition! Although since I have seen a couple of places where they did it with a tree branch and fall leaves, much cuter so we shall see, something of the sort hopefully will be done by the Thomson family each year.
