A few years ago we started a family tradition. We have a
THANKS giving journal and each one of us take a minute the eve of Thanksgiving to write to Turkey Tom and tell him what we are thankful for. This year our kids had thankful hearts for
hugs, kisses, coloring, Grandma Joy and Aunt Jaclyn coming for my birthday, teachers, flowers, the world, my house, my family, friends, and Jesus. The kids then prepare an apple for Turkey Tom and leave it at the door before going to bed. Turkey Tom then wobbles to their home and leaves a little surprise and leaves a little message in their thankful journal. This has become a very fun tradition and it is always fun to read from the years past.

What wonderful family traditions you teach your kiddo's. I love how you decorate your home from halloween to christmas with true lessons and meanings behind it. Your kids will always remember these times in a happy, spiritual, and loving home. And they will love you for what you teach them, just as you love your Mom. Keep it up ")
