Thankful Tradition

This is my favorite fall tradition.  Every November 1, I place this frame on the counter in the kitchen.  Everyday our family selects one thing to write on the glass that we are thankful for.  I love the simplicity and honesty it brings.

Teacher Appreciation

This is how we do a thank you.  

I wanted to do a little something for Ms. Hill to show her how much we adore her.  Needless to say, I was having fun and got a little carried away.  The large arrangement made Ms. Hill's day, and the office staff were amazed.  

Thankful Pilgrim Photo

The teachers at Stars Academy took this sweet picture of my little pilgrim.  Notice the roll he has double gripped.  That is my boy!  

Class Turkey

All the students in Ryland's class created a turkey feather with their parents.  Each feather had a student's name and a special quality that their parent is thankful for.  Ryland's is in the second row in the middle.  We made camouflage feathers and taped them on the bigger feather.  We are thankful for Ryland, and he is nice and a great hunter.

Thankful

 

We have started a new tradition to celebrate thankfulness.  We talk about all the things we are thankful for each evening and chose one of them to write on the glass of the frame. The discussion with the boys is pretty funny, and they are thankful for the cutest things.
