thankful

we had a family home evening lesson on being thankful tonight

and while (like most weeks) the only ones really paying attention were noah and hazel

it was a really good reminder for all of us to be thankful

then when we went upstairs to brush and floss teeth on mom and dad's bed

the kids took turns taking pictures of each other with our camera 

 this is my new favorite picture of eleanor

i'm pretty sure hazel took it

i love that big brown speck in her right eye

 just me flossing someone, i think olive

 they got some really good pictures

 noah was trying to look like he was stepping on the camera

 it looks like eleanor is sleeping standing up

 michael helped with an in the air picture

while hazel was taking it from the ground

 typical olive and our messy room

 of course some fighting

 angry noah

 hey dino!

 hey michael on your phone and snooping hazel

 way to go, eleanor! this is a pretty good picture she took

these pictures show that our life is messy, there is fighting, and a lot of personalities

but it's beautiful, fun and crazy and i'm thankful for it
