thankful.

thanksgiving has never been a huge holiday for me. its always been the "holiday" that just so happens to fall between halloween and Christmas. but this year, i vowed to change that. i mean, why skip a holiday when all its asking you to do is "be thankful"??? for that matter, why does it only have to be ONE day? so, my family has decided to make it a month long process. we started a thanksgiving tree this year. every night, one of us would write something we are thankful for and put it on the tree.... there were times when it was hilarious, especially trying to teach a 3 year old what the word "thankful means". all in all, i think this is a tradition that is going to last a long time!!!!
