OUR BOOK OF THANKS

This Thanksgiving add a great new tradition that will help preserve the memories - and the grattitude!

This book records you and your loved ones Thanks each year during the month of November!  Be sure to take a picture and make it even more fun to look back over the years! 

Most of us have gone around the table and said what we are thankful for, now here is a place to record it each year! 

Another fun thing would be to have all the guests coming over for thanksgiving add their thanks too - and add a picture of the entire Thankgiving Dinner Gang!

Thanks to eighteen25 for this GREAT IDEA!

5 Fall Family Fun Ideas

1. Have a neighborhood Fall Party, rotate houses, each house has a 15 min. activity, snack or craft. This is simple to do as each mom has to come up with only one idea and only 20 min. of a houseful of happy neighborhood kids!
2. Quick, before it's too late, take your family and drive around looking at the fall leaves changing colors! Take a blanket, snacks and a camera. Have a small picnic and take goofy outside pictures of the ones you love most in this world!
3. Make a Thanksgiving Advent Calendar! Each day of November you can be thankful! For example, be thankful for your Grandparents- call and tell them, be thankful for your teacher - write her a note, be thankful for your dad - shine his shoes, be thankful for books - go to the library and check out a bunch, be thankful for fall -take a nature walk, be thankful for night - take a walk with flashlights, be thankful for ice cream- make some homemade, be thankful for beds - go make yours:). You can make a November calendar with fabrics or paper scrapbook style and each day of the month is a little pocket with a slip of paper in it telling you what to do!
4. Fall Service: Rake your Neighbors Leaves! Go on a raking frenzy, take some black plastic bags and surprise your neighbor - or grandmother!! Or better yet, bake your neighbors apple and pumpkin pies !
5. Make a Thankful Wall! Tape butcher paper on a large wall in your living room (or hallway). Then every day in November have all members of the family write or draw a picture of something they are thankful for! One rule - no items can be duplicated!
