Our Thanksgiving Tree

We had a Thanksgiving tree this November.

We started one family night by having everything fill out two leaves with something for which they were grateful, and then I left blank leaves and a pen next to it so that we could add to it often.  I was very touched to see Drew returning to the tree several times to add more leaves, and I loved having a more grateful focus to my own days.

Here are a few of the things that made it on our tree:


Hot water

Blankie
Warm cookies
