Thankful Jar

We are doing the Thankful Jar again at our house. The girls get so excited each night when it's time to draw out a thankful paper. One night they did it on their own..........I heard them whispering and being very quiet. I figured it must have been "I'm Thankful for Mom" so I stayed away so they could surprise me. 10 minutes later they were both proudly displaying their new artwork for me and giving me big hugs and kisses while telling me that they loved me and were thankful for me!
One of their favorites so far was "I am thankful for our car". The task was to clean it out and then celebrate by driving it to get ice cream. :)
One of the sweetest was " I am thankful for my brother." Allie decided to make him a book all about Thanksgiving.........the reason why I'm blogging. I wanted to record what she wrote in the book:

"To: Blake
From: Allie

Thanksgiving Day Book

Thanksgiving is a special day because you give thanks to people that you know.

Thanksgiving Supper
Lots of people eat turkey for dinner. Sometimes people eat pumpkin pie.

Thanksgiving Celebration
Some people celebrate Thanksgiving by going to their Grandparents house.

Thanksgiving is the best holiday. Thanksgiving is in November.

I love you Blake."

She did this ALL on her own. I helped her with one thing. She had put that Thanksgiving was November 11th and I told her that was Veteran's Day. She was so upset that she messed up her book and started crying. I showed her how easy it was to just cross the last part out and say Thanksgiving was in November (and not put the day........since it's always different anyway). She seriously has the biggest heart!!!
