What We're Thankful For


We made our "Thankful Turkey" for family night on Monday.  Here's what the boys came up with:
Daddy
Snow
Earth
Family (Cousins, Bros, Daddy, Mommy)
Heavenly Father
Grandma
Jesus
Mom
Brothers
Food (Noodles, Fish, Garden)
God's Creations
School
Friends

I should preface this though with the fact that we did spend some time talking about having an "attitude of gratitude" and being grateful for the things that money cannot buy.  It was actually a great discussion and right during the middle of it, Cody wanted everyone to be quiet so he could pray and tell God thank you.  It was sweet.  And so far this week they have still remembered what we talked about and have been expressing great amounts of gratitude in their prayers.  Let's hope it sticks.

Happy Thanksgiving!
