Thankful Turkeys

Tonight we got to do one of my favorite family night activities. We have a tradition in our family to create these silly turkeys each year and write what we are thankful for on the feathers. It's a fun reminder of our blessing to see these hanging there as we walk by. Plus I get to feel crafty for a day.

Helaman was thankful for fruit (he wanted to write every kind of fruit he could think of, but we summarized), Family Home Evening, beans (got me!), and penguins. We were naming all kinds of things, but out of everything we named (his bike, his family) he was most thankful for penguins!

We all collaborated on what we thought Isaiah was grateful for. We chose cookies (he's a junk food addict after Amanda's own heart), Helaman said fruit, I said family, and daddy said toys--which Helaman felt was necessary to specify as his mobile.

Omar was grateful for our family, our house, Christmas, and motorcycles.

As for me, it's hard to choose, I am so blessed. I chose to talk about my boys (Helaman loves to talk about how I love all my boys), books, rain--oh how I miss rain, and the beautiful earth.

Anyway, it's silly, but fun. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
