Thanksgiving

 This year for Thanksgiving we were at my parents house. We had a great day and besides filling our stomachs we were also able to get a group picture...
The boys watched football...
  While us girls crafted. We each made something differerent and its so fun to see our different personalities.
                                     I made this cute elf!
 And the kids pulled out every single one of the toys at Grandma's and had them scattered throughout the house.
Each night this whole month we have been writing on leaves to fill our thankful tree. It was so nice to stop and think about what I was grateful for that day and to teach Makenna about being grateful. She was so cute. The first couple of nights she wasn't really getting it because she was always saying, "I'm grateful that Mom and Dad can play with me, or That Jesus loves me." We would tell her we already had those things so she would have to think of something else so then she would say the same things again but add a few more words. She finally caught on and every night she would do multiple leaves to help fill the tree. We are so blessed!
"To live with gratitude ever in our hearts is to touch Heaven."
