Right now while the girls are young they will do all sorts of hokey things, like this thankfulness chart which we have been keeping as a family. Every night at dinner we try to sit down and think of things we’re thankful for. Josie usually overflows with ideas, trying to get a day or two ahead. Celia somehow always wanted to be thankful for the number 4, but then got the idea and switched to being thankful for the people in her lives for almost every opportunity. I have been trying to do something like this with the girls each year, we had a thankful tree last year.  I’m thankful that they’re up for new ideas and full of gratitude and appreciation, at least when asked to think of something. We finished it up tonight and Josie wants to keep going. I know the years that they’ll tolerate me doing this will not last forever!
