Thankful Tree

After seeing lots of ideas for Thankful Trees on Pinterest and blogs, I thought it would be fun to do with Lily. She doesn't completely understand, or know what to say, when we ask her, "what are you thankful for?" So what we've done is just while we're talking about stuff we'll ask her if that's something she's thankful for. That approach has worked a lot better.

 Our tree is very simple - construction paper and tape.

 Lily loves to stick the leaves on.

Some of the things included on the tree are - Daddy, peanuts, goats, Mama, Levi, baby dolls, swing set, family, milk, and raisins.
This is a fun tradition I hope we can do every year. What a great way to teach children to count their blessings!
