Give thanks

Today London and I made a Thanksgiving wreath. We used a paper plate, cut out the middle, and made leaves. We talked about Thanksgiving, turkeys, and family. I asked her what she was thankful for. I wasn't even sure if she knew what thankful meant, but she quickly responded with, "Jesus!" I was quite impressed. I helped her write Jesus on a leaf. I asked her again what she was thankful for and this is exactly what she said...

Mommy
Daddy
Genga
Pa
church
Auntie
Nanna
Daddy (again!)
Lily
Our home
Food (definitely my daughter!)
Daddy (once again)
Heaven
Crafts (We recently started doing a craft a day and she loves it. It's the first thing she asks to do when she wakes up! What have I started! :)

After we wrote down all the things she was thankful for, we glued on all the leaves, and that completed our wreath! She was so proud, and of course I was too!
