Ellie's Thankful Heart

This year, we are spending our Thanksgiving holiday with Nana and Papa (Dan's parents). We all bring something to contribute (I'm making rolls, cranberry sauce, sweet potatoes, and green bean casserole) and Ellie is no exception. Ellie has taken it upon herself to make the "decorations" which I think is so cute and thoughtful. Here are some pictures of the placemats she is making. We are going to laminate them so we can actually use them on Thanksgiving. Obviously, I traced her hand for her and wrote down her list of things she was thankful for but she did EVERYTHING else all by herself! She wrote her name so well and most importantly, she came up with her gratitude list (it was her idea to record what she was thankful for...what a little love). I am so proud of her heart. Her preschool teacher said she is the most mature three year old she has ever known and her fine motor skills (writing esp.), creativity, and observation skills are unparalled. I am just ridiculously proud of her. Enjoy the pictures and stay tuned for Monday's blog...we find out if Baby is a boy or a girl! :)
