Thankful Tree

We did a "thankful tree" during the month of November:

It was fun to sit down each evening and talk about all the things we are thankful for.  The girls especially enjoyed writing on their leaves.  Here are a couple close-ups:

November flew by quickly.  We went to Savannah for Thanksgiving; even though Garrett's parents have moved to Utah, the house is still available and furnished so all of Garrett's siblings planned to meet up there for the holiday.  At the last minute, Garrett's parents and little brother also decided to come back and join us, so it was a full house.  Garrett took a few extra days off before Thanksgiving so we could spend some extra time with them.  It was a fun time and the kids loved playing with their cousins.
