We continued a couple of family traditions... the "Thankfulness Tree" and the "Thankfulness Board".
The "Thankfulness Tree" contains leaves made of construction paper in which anyone can write what they are thankful for. After the leaves were all filled out, we gathered together and divided the leaves among the kids and let them read to everyone-- and we all tried to guess who wrote them.
The "Thankfulness Board" contains and picture of members of both families (Seiter and Davis fams), the grandparents and Seiter's Aunts/Uncles/cousins, Miss Connie and friends that join us. Next to the picture is a space that anyone can write what they are thankful for about each person. Since I design the board, I get to choose the pictures. Cathy is never pleased with my choice :) But this year, Kevin was! Ha! Below is the pic I chose for him...
While some were cooking and preparing our feast....
Others were engaged in different activities....
After we stuffed ourselves, we rested on the couch....
then, we celebrated Josie's 10th Birthday with desert and gifts...
and then we all rode bikes (except Gramma who drove behind us and took pictures-- thanks for all the great pics Gramma!) to JB Hunt park (a few miles away) and played at the playground with the kids...
A fun time was had by all.
God, we're thankful for all our many blessings!
