What are you grateful for?

This is our Thanksgiving Tree:

In order to fill space on a very empty wall, and make our house more Fall-ish, we have begun a new family tradition. The Thanksgiving Tree! We would draw what we were grateful for on little construction paper leaves then hang them on our tree. Having this tree has helped out Sophie's prayers a lot because now she just visualizes the tree and expresses her gratitude for whatever pictures we drew. Her prayers usually go something like this: "We thank thee for Daddy, Sabrina, Mommy, Daddy, the sun, the clouds, Daddy..." (Yes he is mostly always thanked for twice).

Speaking of gratitude....

Here are a couple authentic Thanksgiving moments:

Sabrina (3 mo) and her cousin Annette (7 mo).

Sophie being occupied by Uncle Abram.

Now we are just getting excited for Christmas!
Here is Sophie shootin' em up over at Bass Pro (AKA "The Christmas Store" according to Sophie).

Seriously. The best Christmas hangout place ever.
