Random selection from our Thanksgiving basket

I pulled out a very small random handful of papers from our Thanksgiving basket to share with you. We've had quite a selection added over the course of the month, although since we add to it especially at breakfast we had to ban further additions of certain words connected to that meal ("banana" made its appearance once too many times).

We've started another wonderful tradition to be continued year after year. It focuses our attention on the blessings we've received, provided a memory that I hope will be cherished as my children grow up, and helped remind us of the purpose for the holiday we celebrate tomorrow. I'm a little sad to put away our basket for another year, but we're making room in our home for our Advent celebrations, including our Jesse Tree, to begin this Sunday!! If you've never tried this tradition before in your family, an introduction will post tomorrow morning with daily meditations beginning Sunday. Our children have been looking forward to it since last Christmas!
