The holiday week, NaBloPoMo, and the stress of hosting Thanksgiving had me all messed up, so this is a day late.

It’s clear that my kids have VERY different Christmas wish list styles.

The girls’ (AKA start in October, cutting out all of the things we want and tape them to the wall):

Henry’s (AKA categorize items from the brainstorming session with mom when she forces me to make a list):

It’s clear that BettyCrocker.com is the best place to find a recipe the day before Thanksgiving because the turkey was delicious.

It’s clear why Ivy is my favorite helper this week: I didn’t have to ask her to help set the table.

And it’s clear that Thanksgiving day has become our “put up the outside Christmas decorations” day.

Through The Lens Thursday is a self-improvement photography project that Alison of Writing, Wishing and I are doing this year.

Don’t forget to join our Flickr group or share your own posts if you’d like to follow along and work on your own photography! And use the hashtag #throughthelensthursday to connect with others working on it, too.

Next week’s prompt is CLOSE-UP.
