Thankful Turkeys

These are becoming one of my favorite family home evenings for November. My children love to color and all sat around the table for a good 30 minutes working away on their turkeys. I loved just sitting with them and helping Cares spell, watching Livs work so intently, and listening to Bentley brainstorm unique ideas for his feathers. He came up with cousins, the temple, colors, waterfalls and planets (and then refused to make anything but this overdone face for pics):
Cares wrote the names of each of our family members on her feathers and Olivia chose family, gray kitty, nursery, cousins and prayers.

Joseph whipped up a little art of his own (not to mention he drew the turkey outline in the first place):
The "Linus" illustration of Livs kills me—I love it. My hubby is so fun to have around :)

ha ha ha loving Joe's illustration. Linus Livs is great, and so is the fact that baby boy has a spot both in your tummy and one of the turkey's feathers. What is his name going to be by the way?

What a fun and meaningful FHE. Joe's drawing is enviable, love his perfect details for each child!

Joe is so funny. Good FHE idea. We did thankful Jenga for a game the other night. The kids totally got into it. :)
