Graditude

Van saw this idea in his November Friend magazine and REALLY wanted to do it, so being the awesome mom that I am I gathered the needed materials and we went to work:)  Van had so much fun helping to make the tree and even more fun thinking of something to be thankful for each day to add another leaf.  All four of us got to put a new leaf on each day and it certainly put our focus on all the blessings in our lives that we have to be grateful for.  Van told me what he wanted on his leaf and what Brielle wanted on hers.  I think those were my favorite, he came up with some funny and sweet stuff!
