This year's Thanksgiving was a low key, at home Thanksgiving... which, ironically, is starting to become a bit of a tradition (we did our own Thanksgiving last year too)! We started the celebration on Wednesday, making "I'm thankful shirts". I gave the girls both the camera and let them walk around the house and take pictures of things they are thankful for. We ended up with hundreds of pictures... so they had to narrow it down to 6 or 7. I'm happy to announce that every member of the family made it onto every one's shirt. This is a good sign that I'm doing something right, right?
Then we printed the pictures onto transfer paper and ironed them white shirts.
The shirts turned out really nice, but I have to admit, I had envisioned the transfer paper being a little easier to work with. I have used transfer paper to make gifts before and it wasn't as obnoxious as this time. Regardless, everyone was cute in their thankful shirts at dinner on Thursday.In addition to the shirts, we all wore Indian Headdresses with fun names on them.
Dad was "Big Chief", Mom was "Little Mama", Melanie was "Red Feather", Noelle was "Stands with a Fist", and Oliver was "Silly Monkey".
We ate good food, which we made together as a family, and just had a lot of fun.
And our first family picture after bringing Oliver home.
Happy Thanksgiving.

I love the idea of taking pictures of things we're grateful for. I think I will do that with Clara - thanks for the idea!
