A Thankful Turkey

On November first our family started a fun way to show how thankful we are for one another. I saw an idea similar to this in magazine and adapted it to fit our family. (I think it's like the "elf on a shelf".) We have a small turkey with a note that says this:


I’m sharing this turkey with you
To let you know that I’m thankful for all you do.

But that’s not all, by far,
I’m also thankful for who you are.

Each day of this month, you do the same,
Pass along this turkey and play the game.

Hide the turkey for someone else to see,
How special they are, just like you are to me.

Write a brief note here to show what you’re thankful for.
At the end of the month together, we’ll all thank the Lord.


It has shown up all over the house and the babies who can't write are getting a little help. It's amazing how many things we have to be thankful for when we try to think about it.

Thanks for marrying a turkey, like me. I love reading your posts. I should comment more often. I need to be more like you.
