We Are Thankful For...

At the beginning of the month we made a turkey to help us countdown the days to Thanksgiving. I believe my sister, Daja, found the project and suggested it from another blog... But I’ve forgotten where it came from. The turkey’s body was easy to make, and then we traced and cut feathers to place around the turkey. Each of us had a different color so that we could take equal turns filling out the feather with something that we were thankful for. Most days we were able to discuss this after dinner as a family... It was a great exercise for us, and it was neat to see the full list of things that we are thankful for as a family. I’ve listed them all by color below – can you guess which person came up with the items for each color?

Teal:
Family
Mom and Dad
Food
My BFFL’s (Best Friends For Life)
Paints
Holidays
Air

Pink:
Friends
Rainy days
Music
Technology
Quiet moments
Good deals
Sleep

Green:
Buzz Lightyear
Cookies
Books
Dancing With The Stars
Letters (abc’s)
White shoes
Buddies

Yellow:
Nice house
Tasty water
Lazy days
My pets
Good humor
Warm slippers

We hope that you all had a very Happy Thanksgiving!
