52Photos :: thankful

my 52Photos capture

I had a difficult time trying to think of creative ways to capture the essence of thankful. Then, yesterday afternoon, we finally sat down to do the painted Thanksgiving handprint turkeys that made their first appearance last year, but now suddenly they're a tradition. How could I not be grateful for this small little thing that became a memory to my girls. Five minutes spent painting palms and fingers and making handprints, ten minutes spent cleaning up handprints and paint trays, then another three minutes trying to get the paint out of the shirt we should have taken off before we even began. 

Thankful for the memories that I get to be part of, and I have the photos to prove it!
