Oh, the fortune cookies.

Thankful Tree

 Around Thanksgiving week, I printed this free printable from A Holy Experience. Each of the leaves has a scripture about being thankful on it. We cut and wrote and hole-punched and tied string a couple of nights during dinner. We wrote or drew pictures of things we are thankful for on the back of each leaf.

It was sweet to see what the kids came up with. We are very thankful for Heidi and for mommy and daddy. Daddy made one for Elise that said she was thankful for Blankey. Eva was thankful for Elise and Elise is apparently thankful for Eva, too.

Tree

While decorating the tree in his room, Micah went to place another ornament on the same section of tree where all his other ornaments were hanging. I suggested he put the ornament on the other side because there were already so many so close together. He told me they were having a party.
