Hand Turkeys

This is a favorite Family Night activity we do in our house each Thanksgiving. I just love to see what the kids are thankful for. It evolves each year as they get older. We usually just write a few things, but Jackson couldn't stop naming what he was grateful for, so we went until his Turkey was full.

 Jackson: totally unprompted! I was impressed with his list

 Zoey: toys, crafts, daddy-daughter dates and sunrises! This couldn't be more Zoey!

 Eli is grateful for each of his family members

 Brian and I participated in our own hand Turkeys. We are trying to encourage the kids to be specific in what they are grateful for as they say prayers. What a fabulous time of year!

I loved seeing the "thankful spirit" light up in the kids, where they began to realize how blessed they are and be grateful for what they enjoy in life.
