I love Thanksgiving and enjoy taking time to be thankful for all the blessings in my life. I ran across this idea somewhere (probably Pinterest) and wanted to start this tradition in our family. Right now, Josh and I are the only ones who can participate, but I look forward to when Landry (and future Hawks) can contribute!
I made the board using a foam board and cut squares out of construction paper and glued them on leaving the top open to insert our pieces of paper. Josh and I each wrote 15 things we were thankful for, and I mixed them up and put one in each box. Each day we took out the paper and read one thing we were thankful for.
And here they are . . .
