The Month of Thanksgiving!

This year we started a new tradition that I am glad we started. Each night, starting on the 1st of November, we would say something we were thankful for. We put our cards in this cute tree I got from Pottery Barn Kids. I think it helped us all think of being thankful all month. We mostly wanted the kids i.e. Cruz to really understand it is important to be grateful for each and everything everyday! Here is our month:
