30 days of thankful

Last month I was inspired by this garland and decided to do a little something similar to it for our family this year. Its really important to me that my children know the true meaning behind the major holidays and this year was as good as any to teach Z the concept of thankfulness. I'm looking forward to many years of this simple tradition. Then, when I'm old and gray, I'll take out a big box of leaves and fall shapes and see how the things we were all thankful for changed over time.
