We are preparing for Thanksgiving and have been counting our blessings all month long. Most mornings, my wonderful husband gets up with the two oldest girls and gets them a *hot* cooked breakfast (before he leaves for work)while I nurse the baby and get her up and ready for the day. We all have breakfast together and ask each other what we are thankful for. We have decided to come up with a family "Thankful Jar" that also includes actions associated with each thing we are thankful for. For example, Elle said she is thankful for Vacation Bible School, so we chose the action to be for us to listen to the music CD from VBS and sing the songs. She LOVES going to VBS and cannot wait for her sister(s) to join her! Em said she is thankful for Mommy and Daddy. Her action is to give us lots and lots of kisses;) Isn't she the sweetest!! We have so many things to be thankful for and we want to have some tangible action or goal to make sure we "show" how thankful we are!
Here is our Thankful Jar along with some paper plate turkeys our girls made. Each of the feathers has something they are thankful for written on it. We traced the girls' feet in order to make the body of the turkey-they thought it tickled like crazy!! Elle made her turkey craft all by herself! We are so proud of their little grateful hearts;)
