For two weeks leading up to Thanksgiving, we wrote down every night at dinner, what we were thankful for this year. We asked everyone to write their own thoughts on a leaf and it had to include why you were thankful for whatever you wrote down. We even had some of our friends and neighbors write leafs. Eli drew us a 5 and a half foot tall tree trunk with branches and we put it up at the end of our long hall. This was a great experience for us and I think it might be a tradition we continue.
Some of my favorites-
Caleb-I am thankful for my brother going to youth group, because then I don't have to listen to him.
Dori- I am thankful for Thanksgiving, because we can be thankful.
Eli- I am thankful for weights because they keep me active and healthy.
Abi- I am thankful for plumbing, so we can stay clean.
Anna-I am thankful for love, because love is very powerful.
