Silent gratitude isn't much use to anyone. ~ GB Stern.
Well today I wanted to start some new Thanksgiving traditions in our family. I wanted to create something that was uniquely ours so our children would remember our holidays together. We started with our Thanksgiving tree. We drew a tree on a big strip of paper. I am going to transfer it to poster board and hung it on a door. We then cut out leaves and wrote on them what we are thankful for. Here is what we wrote:
Joe: The ability to provide.
Pam: My Faith
Hannah: Shelter, Food and Love
Elainea: My Family
Hayden: Frucks (Trucks)
We then sat around our candlelit table with our best linens and dishes and ate tacos with cold duck. We toated to each of our gratitudes. We laughed and had a wonderful time.
