I love traditions particiularly at the holidays and this year we implemented a new one. The Thankful Turkey. For the last couple of weeks James, Nolan, Griffin and I have added feathers (almost) daily with a word of something we are thankful for on it. I have loved to hear what the boys are thankful for. It has led to many great discussions with the boys about what it means to be thankful, all the different types of things we should be thankful for, how many others live with so much less, and the importance of reflecting and appreciating all we have.
The first feather Nolan wrote said he was thankful for was “Freedom” and Griffin said “God.” I told James we must not be doing that bad of a job as parents!
Our turkey may have started without any feathers, but now we are reminded of all the things we are truly thankful for. In the middle of the hustle and bustle of our lives, it is very important to stop and remember what all we truly have.
Happy Thanksgiving!
