For the first Family Home Evening of November we made a "Thankful Garland." We talked about all the things that we are thankful for and then wrote them down on silk leaves from the dollar store. I then strung them together and we hung it up for the month. I thought I took a picture of it, but I guess I never did before I started to decorate for Christmas. Sorry.
Here's a list of what we are thankful for:
health

As you can tell there were some repeats, there was one little boy who was thankful for anything that he could see at the time, and one man who thought it would be funny to throw in a few extremely random items...one guess who that was! I love my family so much and I am so grateful for all of the blessings that I have received in my life. I have never been so happy!

LOVE your garland! I did a thankful tree one year with old tree branches and leaves. It's fun to see what the boys come up with. Speaking of which, I can almost guess which words Andrew added! That little stinker!
Yeah--I was just going to say: "Andrew's are easy to spot!" I love the garland and the whole idea. Very neat.
