How is it the middle of November already? I was recently reading through my
Family Fun magazine and found a fun and easy way to "give thanks". Decorate some sort of container (or just use a glass bowl like us) and cut strips of colorful paper. Each night at dinner during the month of November, each family member takes the time to write something they are thankful for. (I modified this for our family, as the original idea is to do it all year round) On Thanksgiving, you read what you are thankful for aloud...then you use the strips to make a paper chain for your Christmas Tree. Easy huh?
This morning I am particularly thankful for a little guy who stayed home from school today because of a nasty cough, a game of Cariboo and snuggles on the sofa.

What a great idea! Let's talk soon! love,kim
I like that even better than our Thanksgiving box - we're putting money in it as well to buy presents for our Christmas shoeboxes, but the paper is usually whatever I can grab and rip off of something handy, so no way can I make chains out of them... I may have to rethink that part.... :) Thanks for sharing - Love and miss you lots today. Shan
Awesome idea. Thank you. And, I love days like that :)
Praying Levi is on the mend...and that's a great idea. Is your vonage up and running?
we have that same game and we love it! hope he's feeling better.
