We do have a little tradition that we couldn't leave behind, however, so we did it today. We made a Thankful Tree.
Tonight Garry planted a branch cut from one of our backyard trees in a pot of rocks. Then the family gathered around the table and covered paper leaves with the things that fill our hearts with gratitude. The boys wrote lots of their own things this year, and I filled in the gaps. Because we only had 13 leaves left over from last year, we wrote on both sides and still talked about other blessings when we were done. I taught the boys a little song about being thankful, and I'm sure the tune will replay in my head for days to come.
It's good to have a gratitude reminder now and then.

What a wonderful tradition. It's so important to be grateful! I'm grateful that all worked out with the calendars too! Have a fun trip with your fam.
I love this idea! I might have to do one for myself.
Such a great, grateful tradition.
