Have you read this book?  If not, check it out...

Last November my Mom and I had a great opportunity to spend some time with my nieces and nephew while their parents wisked away to New York for their 10 year wedding anniversary.

We had the best time making our own Leaf Man creations.  Lilly, Jack, and Eva are lucky enough to live in a wonderful old neighborhood with lots and lots of old trees...giving us lots and lots to work with!

Lillian being creative

Lillian's Leaf Turkey {isn't that SO COOL?}

Jack's super-cute Leaf Boy

We had so much fun doing this great project...I wish I would have gotten more pictures.   It was a perfect fall afternoon activity and the only thing that would have made it even better would have been if my kids would have been there creating with their cousins {I have yet to do this with them}.

I believe it needs to be an annual tradition...

My creations...Leaf Owl and my own Leaf Man

{miss you and love you nieces and nephew! :) I had so much fun doing this with you last year!!}
