Our Thankful Jam

This Thanksgiving is going to be a multi-event for our family this year! Head count in the twenties,and family coming from all around Oregon. So this year, I didn't have much time to do a hand turkey, or the cloved orange, but before we were settled into the month of November, I found this really great family craft in a magazine. Make a thankful jar. All it is is decorate a jam jar, and place it on the counter with a notepad and a pen. When ever a family member thinks of something to be thankful for, they scribble it down and place it in the jar. On Thanksgiving, the Dad with pass the jar around where everyone will read the "thankfulness", and it will get us in the mood to add little bits here and there. (It also helps with handwriting practice:)

Me and Essie made this thankful Jar together. Talk about sister time!
