Tree of Thanksgiving

Every November, we hang an old bulletin board of a large tree in our hallway. We keep track of the things we are thankful for and write them on the leaves. This year, I did it a little differently. Each day (well...most days when we remembered) everyone at the dinner table writes on their leaf. With the visit from my parents for the past week, we've enjoyed reading their additions as well.
