Giving Thanks

One of our family's Thanksgiving traditions is to make a Thanksgiving Tree.  Autumn leaves list some of the things we are thankful for in our lives.

The topic of this month's Thursday co-op was giving.  We discussed the differences between needs and wants, and appropriate items to donate to food-banks.  Our family celebrated Thanksgiving this year with a special meal, playing Mad-Libs, and boating at Colyer Lake.
