Our Gratitude Turkey

This year, we started a new Thanksgiving tradition. In November we put a turkey up on our pantry door and everyday (although we forgot a lot) we wrote on a feather one thing we were grateful for. Then on Thanksgiving, we were supposed to read through everything that was written. (That didn't happen yet...but the year is not over)

Here is what everyone wrote:

What Elisa said: DAD!

What Steen said: Captain Jack Sparrow Legos, Austin Simmons( his friend)

Andrea said: Fun friends to play with, a family, a peaceful home,

Michaela said: good food, creative and fun parents, Thanksgiving, talents, freedom

Alison said: music, Heavenly Father loves me, Steven, Michaela, Andrea, Steen and Elisa

Steven said: my loving wife, a good night sleep when I get one, Health

I can't wait to do it again next year!
