Our Thankful Tree

This morning the boys and I made a thankful tree... don't laugh! haha I may not be the best at cutting out branches and leaves (and letters), but they got the point (well, at least Grant did). :)
Here are some of the things our family is grateful for:
  • To be a family forever
  • Jesus
  • Cinnamon (our dog)
  • A good job
  • Heavenly Father
  • Family
  • Temple covenants
  • Food
  • The Atonement
  • Good friends
  • When Jesus taught good things. :)
  • The nice things we have
  • Parents
  • The Priesthood
  • Leapster (for Christmas)
  • Nice weather
  • Michael
  • Buzz Lightyear
  • The Holy Ghost
  • Babies
I was really surprised when I asked Michael and Grant what they were thankful for. Grant immediately said "that our family is forever!" and Michael said, "Jesus!". It makes me happy that they know these things.
We hope you all have a great and safe Thanksgiving!




While I was putting up the tree Grant drew all over his hand and finger nails with permanent marker, so of course, Michael had to copy him. I love when they do stuff like this....


With that said, I am also thankful for nail polish remover and soap! :)
