We are thankful....

Our thankful tree! I started this last year where every day we each have to write something we are thankful for on a leaf and add it to the tree. And anyone who comes over before they leave I ask them to write on a leaf too! So here are just a few of my favorite leaves this year

"I am thankful that Jesus gave me a great brother" Brayden
"I am thankful for the house that You provided for us" Ben
"I am thankful for Brayden and his sincere, silly, and spunky spirit that enriches my life each day" Mom
"I am thankful for how much of a blessing my children are" Dad
"I am thankful for my brothers talents that You gave him" Ben
"I am thankful for our parents that are always so willing to help us" Nicole
"I am thankful to have such a wonderful and giving family to spend this day with" Jessa
"I am thankful to have such a great teacher" Brayden (just had to include this one :) )
"I am thankful for Ben and his kind, compassionate, and giving heart that blesses me
daily" Mom
"I am thankful for my beautiful wife Nicole" Brandon (just had to include this one too!)


This is just a little art project that turned out cute. They traced their hands and then in each finger wrote something they are thankful God created them to be.
