I am so far behind on blogging but with 3 new posts I'm a little closer.
I have been trying to think of a new tradition for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Yesterday, our Home Teachers came by. For the lesson, they summed up President Monson's talk on gratitude from conference. They gave us the idea to have a "Thankful Jar" sitting around the house until Thanksgiving, We are to write things down that we are grateful for and open it up on Thanksgiving and read it.
I set ours out on the table so it is easily seen. At dinner each night until Thanksgiving we all write two things down and place them in the jar.
Our kids have been drawing pictures of what they are thankful for. Hailey loves this idea. Most of those papers are hers. I can't wait to read what we all come up with. I just hope I can tell what the pictures are that the kids are drawing. :)
