Thanksgiving Turkey

So, I have three unfinished blogs just waiting for my attention. It seems I have been so busy getting things done, that I haven't been able to get things done. Ever have that kind of week? Or, month, for that matter?

Anyway, I wanted to make sure that I did post the picture of our completed "Turkey Full of Thanks". It is a special family tradition that has become even more important to us now that we are unable to see our extended families during the Thanksgiving holiday. Matthew, Anna Cate and I each think of three things for which we are thankful and then write each item on an individual feather that we add to our posterboard turkey. We then invite our families to send us the things for which they are thankful and then add those "feathers" to our turkey. As you can see, the completed turkey becomes quite full of the everyday blessings.


We then display him proudly for visitors to see. This tradition is a great reminder of how full and wonderful the year has been for us and those we love. We sincerely appreciate those who contributed this year.
