Kids remind us everyday that we need to slow down and enjoy the small things. But at Thanksgiving, kids remind us that its not about the perfect Thanksgiving feast, stressing out about travel plans or even about football...its about being thankful for what you've been given by God.
Today Daddy, Marshall and I went to Jake's Hillander Thanksgiving party and learned that these 3 year olds "get it"!
Jake made a precious turkey hat and the feathers each said what he was thankful for...Mommy, Daddy, grandparents, brother (shocking) and, of course, toys (given by God)!
Here's the door hanger they made where he also says he's thankful for Mama, Daddy and cookies!
The sweet placemat...another handprint masterpiece!
Marshall walking around at the party
They said a Thanksgiving blessing and Jake was hilarious...he was closing his eyes REAL hard and swinging his head around, very Stevie Wonder!
They did their turkey poem..."A turkey is a funny bird, his head goes wobble, wobble, wobble. He only knows a single word...
...gobble, gobble, gobble"!

These parties stress me out...lots of kids on a sugar high! But today, I was so THANKFUL to be able to stand amongst the chaos with my precious little boy, my sweet, beautiful baby and my handsome, wonderful husband. I truly have a lot to be thankful for this year!
We came home and Jake took a bath and I got some great shots of him...just had to include in this post!
