Time to Give Thanks

I found lots of cute activities to do with the children to prepare for Thanksgiving this year.

I feel like this year, more than others, I as well as them, need to focus on being grateful- 

grateful for our lives, 

each other, 

our home, 

our blessings, 

and so much more. 

Here are some ideas I found on pinterest that I plan on doing with them.

So many use for toilet paper rolls

I love this- I just have to send the kids out to gather some branches.
