For the past two years I have wanted to do something special for Thanksgiving. I wanted it to be all through November, not just one day. I took down all the pictures from the wall in the dining room and it left a very large, very blank wall. I wrote 'I am thankful for' on some coordinating paper and centered it on the wall. Then every day in November we (the kids and I) would have a mini lesson about things we are (or should be) thankful for, and did a craft that showed what we learned. We posted them on the wall, and we had a wonderful decoration that we enjoyed everyday. I also had some cut paper and a marker so the adults could write things they were thankful for.
I think this is a new tradition in our family that will be something to look forward to every year. It was a little sad it take it down.

What a wonderful idea Amy. I love it, the wall looks great! Your kids look so darling.
Great idea. We had a turkey on the wall named "Thanky Franky" and tried to add feathers, with things we are thankful for on them, everyday. We did this about 3 days. It was fun though. Your kids will love this tradition.
That is awesome. I will have to try something like that next year...
