Being Thankful (and crafty)

I actually decorated for Thanksgiving. OK, I don't know if you can really call it decorating if it's just one little thing, but it does makes things seem more festive. And not a moment too soon since Thanksgiving is in two days!


I stole this idea and modified it from spymommy's blog (I was way too lazy to cut out leaves, so we just did rubber stamps). The girls had a great time crafting with the rubber stamps (thanks, Katie, for loaning them to us) and then we wrote in what we were thankful for as a Family Home Evening activity last night.


Dan (participating via speakerphone from his office and Lily as scribe) is thankful for:

  • Sue
  • Lily
  • Amelia
  • Mistre (Mystery) Boy
  • His job
  • His leg heling (healing)

I am thankful for:

  • Amelia's smiles and Lily's hugs
  • Dan working so hard so I can be a stay-at-home mom
  • Living in Cokeville
  • Blogs and staying in touch with loved ones on the internet

Lily is thankful for:

  • Blessings
  • Famile (family)
  • Helth (health)
  • World (Jesus created the world, you know)
  • Jesus
  • House
  • School
  • Mistr Hach (Mr. Hatch, her teacher)
  • Food
  • Drinks
  • Myself
  • Books

Amelia is thankful for:

  • Biggie
  • Mama
  • Daddy
  • Baby Brother
  • Binky and Woobie
  • Horses and Cows
  • Playing in the wood pile
  • Grandparents
  • Books and Movies

What makes your craftiness shine is the beautiful photograph of your kids.

And look how much you have to be thankful for!

Have a super Thanksgiving Sue!
