Thankful turkey

My sister Jamie is doing a thankful turkey with her family and I really liked the idea and wanted to do it myself. Thanks for the idea Holly and Jamie! Since I watch my niece a couple of times a week I thought this would be fun for her and Audrey to color their own turkey and add thankful feathers. They were actually both way excited about it. In fact Livy told me she couldn't wait to come over next time so that she can put another thankful feather on the turkey. That made me really happy! :)

It was cute too because as the girls were coloring I told them to think about something they are thankful for. Well after a minute or two of coloring, Audrey stops coloring turns around and tells me "Mom, I am thankful for you." Is that not so sweet?! It really did make my day!!

About Audrey

Audrey was born at 4 pounds 14 ounces. She was just a little one. She might be small but she is a really strong girl. Audrey is a bit stubborn these days. She still likes to do things her way and when it is more convenient for her. She is very independent. We can't force her to do anything because than she won't do it. She is ready when she is ready and that is how it has always been since before she was born. She was born 3 weeks early, but came when she was ready. If she keeps this up, life is going to be hard for us (Brandon and I) when she gets older, it already is and she is only 3. :) We love her so much and would not change her for anything and are so glad she is a part of our family. We can't imagine life without little Miss. She has definitely kept us on our toes!

About Gracey

Oh , our sweet sweet Gracey. I call her Sweet girl because she really is so sweet. She was born a couple of weeks early but gave us a scare at 34 weeks when I started having consistent contractions and was dilated to a 3. Luckily she decided to wait a bit longer. When she decided to come she didn't wait long. I was in labor for 5 hours, almost 3 of which were at home. She made it so easy for me and oddly enough that is what kind of a baby she is. She is easy going and happy and smiles so much!! I love her so much!!!
