Thankful

A cold front finally rolled in making it feel like November and keeping us from enjoying the outdoors today so I thought it would be a perfect day to make our Thanksgiving Tree. Each leaf has something on it that Stacey and Wyatt are thankful for. Our family, home and friends were at the top of their lists as well as school, toys, boxes?, and thankfully, each other!
I sure am thankful for these two!!
I couldn't resist a flashback to this same Thanksgiving activity last year.
What a difference a year makes!
Wyatt must be working on perfecting his "Blue Steel" :)

"Give thanks in all circumstances,
for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus."
1 Thessalonians 5:18

Such a wonderful family tradition! I think we may have to do that next year with LEW! I am esp. loving the sweet leaves with the Warren family on them!!! SO thankful for these sweet boys and their parents:)

Love it! I don't know if I have it in me to do something so adorable, but I love it nonetheless. I am thankful for you, friend!

Such a special thing to do together. I got this idea from you last year and loved it. I had only been in Doha a few weeks. The boys helped and seemed to enjoy it but minutes later Brooks ripped it off the wall and tore it in pieces. I wasn't a thankful mother at the moment. I'll never forget it. I tried and I'd like to try again this year. Maybe we'll redeem ourselves. Wish we could get some cold weather to force us inside too :) Just a few more weeks. Happy Thanksgiving Tree to you all...we sure are thankful for Team Smith!

Love it! We might just have to make one of those today! I wanted to last year and the time just got away from me. So today....we will make it happen!
