Thankful

Our family project this month was to remember things we were thankful for.  Every night we would write down one thing we were thankful for and hang it up.  We could not repeat ourselves, but we could repeat others.  It was a really fun project!  Near the end, Sydney would end up listing 10 or more new things she was thankful for each night without any prompting. She really got the hang of it! A lot of Cooper's list came from her extras.  We found that listing every person we were thankful for, which started happening one night, was taking up our entire list, so we started writing "family/cousins" or "grandparents."  To sum it up, we really are so grateful for every person in our family... extended cousins and all! I loved having a reminder of things we were thankful for hanging on the walls in our home.  It has been so fun to stop every once in a while and read it.  On the last night of our project, I found I was a little sad, because I didn't get to list everything I was thankful for!  We really have been so blessed in our lives.  We have so much to be grateful for.
