Thankful

This year we started what I hope will become a Thanksgiving tradition. We made a "thankful tree." I got the idea from HERE. It was both sweet to hear what Addison and Jake were thankful for and a good reminder to practice having a thankful heart.

Here are a few of my favorite thankful tree postings:
