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

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.

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. 🙂

Hi! I found this again!! Yay! I’d like to start this tradition… :> What does the front of your book look like (the link is broken :>) . Just wondering how to find a blank book….
Christian says
