Fav Family Night Ever

Ok so once a year around Thanksgiving time we have had a family night where I make turkeys and put a pictures of each person on the turkey and then on the feathers we write why we are greatful for that person. It really is one of my most favorite nights of the year (this is our 3rd year doing this). We say nice things to each other throughout the year but never are we all together saying nice things about everyone in our family. I have to post some of the things that were said. They were so tender. Of course I cried thru the whole thing. There was just such a stong spirit of love in our house while we were having this lesson.

Cole to Cade: I am thankful for Cade because he always makes me smile. He is the best brother ever.

Cade to mom: I am thankful for mom because she lets me go on trips. She buys me new pjs, and she gives really good hugs.

Cal to Cole: I am thankful for Cole because he plays with me.

Cal to Cade: I am thankful for Cade because he turns on Scooby-doo for me.

Cole to dad: I am thankful for my dad because he takes me places. When I am sick he will stay home from school with me and comfort me. I love him.

Dad to Cal: I am thankful for Cal and for his energy he brings to this family and his infectious personality.

Mom to Cole: I am thankful for Cole because he has such a sweet spirit. He is very kind. He gives awesome hugs and kisses and he always looks so very cute.

Those were just a few of the nice things that were said. I would encourage everyone to do something similar to this. It just worked out so well. Now the turkeys are on our front door for everyone to see why we are thankful for each other!!!
