I'm a big fan of taking one holiday at a time. I have already seen lots of people posting pictures of Christmas trees and twinkling lights. What about that wonderful Thanksgiving holiday though? Why do we rush right through it? It's such a good and genuine day, one that I never hope to take for granted! I did a cheesy craft for October, so when I was at Hobby Lobby a few weeks ago I rallied and found something festive and family-oriented for Thanksgiving. This is typically where we decorate with our Holiday cards, so it felt sort of normal to decorate for another holiday here too.
If you look closely, you can see that the little cards say "I am thankful for" and then there's a space to add your thoughts. I had every intention of adding something every night together as a family, but then decided that was asking a bit much this year. Sure, Tim and I could do it together, but it will be a bit longer before Cameron can understand the concept fully.
So instead, on Sunday afternoon while Cameron was napping, I jotted down the things that I think our family is most thankful for and got to hanging. This little craft project took me less than 20 minutes and cost me maybe $8. It's definitely not Pinterest worthy, but I don't care. It's a happy reminder every time I pass it of the things that are really important and the blessings that we share.
