Thankful Tree

Thanksgiving is a holiday that kind of gets skipped over. It's crammed between Halloween, which seems to be getting busier every year, and Christmas, which is a retail power house. Being thankful for our blessings should happen more often than just one day a year. I saw a cute idea to be thankful all during the month of November. This tree is in my entry way and it's at least 6 feet tall. We cut out leaves and wrote one them something we are thankful for. We did several last night and we are going to do at least one leaf a day until Thanksgiving day. What a fun reminder of all of our blessings. The kids LOVED this idea. They had so much fun cutting out leaves and hanging them up. It was a fun conversation we had about blessings and what we are thankful for. Please no comments on my artistic skills, or lack thereof. It's the thought that counts. :)
