One of our family's Thanksgiving traditions includes making lists of things we are thankful for. In fact, my kids are never allowed to make a Christmas or Birthday Wish List before they make a list of things they are grateful for. My goal in doing this is not to discourage them from wanting things! We all wish for things and there is nothing wrong with that! However, we can sometimes get so wrapped up in the things we wish for that we forget about what we have already been blessed with.
Making thankful lists is something that my kids enjoy (especially the youngest three)! If I forget, they remind me about this tradition. I am so thankful for their hearts filled with gratitude!
My youngest three have allowed me to publish their lists.
Enjoy! (and yes! mine is coming tomorrow)

Too be continued. . . Brenna chose to interupt this list writing to watch TV. (Shocking, I know) But she says she really wants to write more later! (If you know Brenna, you know this is totally her! It makes me smile to record it.)
