The Thankful List

Well, way back in November our family worked on a thankful list. Each night we added a link in our paper chain and wrote on it one thing that each person was thankful for. The chain finally came down last month, and now I'm going to type these up so I can throw away the chain without remorse! I'm tired of seeing it on the office floor (or in shreds around the house!) and yet I am sad to think I will forget this little piece of who we are and were. So, here are some of the things we were thankful for. (B= Braden, C= me, O= 6yo, R= 4yo, L= 2yo) The kljsfoa typing is for the slips where Rhyle wrote his own and I have no idea what they say. *smile* It was good practice.

We are thankful for:
B: Watching Owen jump into a pile of raked leaves
C: Hearing God's word taught at church
O: Jesus
R: Walks
L: God

How cute is that?! I'll have to file that idea away and try that sometime in our home.
Thanks for sharing! Hope you are doing well!

Tate was quite a big hit with Livia! I'm surprised Rhyle never made it on her list. Or maybe not... ;) It was fun reading about the many blessings your family was thankful for last fall. Thanks for posting!
