Our Thankful Tree...

It is hard to believe that Thanksgiving is right around the corner. Too often, it sneaks up on us...we celebrate...eat turkey...and fail to spend time truly being thankful!

So, we've started a new Jimenez-family tradition. Jason and the kids spent time last week drawing, cutting, and decorating our "thankful-tree". The kids traced out blank leaves and we have a stack of leaves awaiting us each night.

After dinner, we sit around and talk about what each one of us is thankful for. Then we write it on our leaf and tape it to the tree. It has been a fun reminder to each of us that we are incredibly blessed and need to take time out each day to give THANKS!!

The tree looked pretty sad and barren when we started...but it is quickly getting filled up. (I know...the opposite of what truly happens to trees in the fall...oh well! :-)

Last night, Daddy was thankful for BROWNIES!!! :-)
