Our Book of Thanks

Nov92011 posted by Jodie and Jen 21 Comments

*We have a new printable version of our Book of Thanks — Find it HERE!
.
we’ve shared this before.. but it’s pretty special to us… so we think it’s worth sharing again.
three years ago we started our book of
thanks.

 

every Thanksgiving
everyone takes a turn writing what they are grateful for in it.

 

 

 

i especially like
what the kids have to add to the book.

 

we also make sure we gather together, put the
camera on a timer and snap a quick shot of us all.
i love having the picture because every year
there are different people who join us for our Thanksgiving dinner. so it’s fun
to look back and see our past guests.
many of you asked last time where i got the book…
i did find it here!
(sorry it’s kinda
pricey)
looking for other ways so show what you’re thankful for?
thankful turkeys  :  thankful tree  :  thankful garland
thCollagedo you have any Thanksgiving day traditions?

    Your book brings the true meaning of the season to the forefront of our minds. It was a post worth repeating!

    Wow what an incredible idea. I wish we had started this years ago before I lost my Gma this year. But I would love to start this now!

    Oh I just love this and 2 out of 4 of our children are old enough to write in it themselves! I think we will have to make one this year too! Thanks so much for the inspiration!

    Thanks for sharing this special idea. I made one for my family to start using this year, and am mostly excited for the kids contributions ;). (I love their art.) If you want to see it, it's on my blog, MakeItScrappin. (I give you guys credit for the idea down at the bottom!) Also, family Thanksgiving traditions? We always have a puzzle. 🙂 It's always tucked away in a quieter room where you can go if you need to step away from the craziness with our loud, large family. 🙂
