so each november (i think this is year 3) we started doing a thankful tree...after being inspired by some friends i had seen. so here is this year's.....
i can tell at our ages....7, 5, 4.....they are getting the concept much more than even last year and really thinking beyond their usual "thankful for food!" reed wants to say he's thankful for Jesus almost daily....which is great, but I try to prompt him to think of other things Jesus has done for him that he can be thankful for.....Mary Etta often wants to copy what Emery-Claire says.....but she's had a few original ideas....apple pie (after we had some apple crisp after dinner one night), gum from Gigi, and daddy taking her to chick-fil-a.
so i can't find our previous thankful trees....maybe i forgot to take pictures of......
but i do have post from
2012 (though I'm pretty sure we did in 2011 and 2010??)
this year i've very thankful for these 4 little people and a godly husband who is so passionate for the things of the Lord.......
love the pictures, precious and the note-worthy thankfulness...Jesus & gum...we couldn't do life without either :) mom
