Thankful

For Thanksgiving, I wanted the kids to elaborate a little more on the immense blessings that we enjoy.  Sometimes it is a bit hard to pull it out of them for night time prayers, but I was excited to see them fill up a list in the week before Thanksgiving.  This started out as a FHE activity that we carried over on the next few days.  Each meal, we would try and get every person to list ~5 things. We wrote them on paper strips and made a huge long chain. I did my best to try and not allow duplicates because I wanted them to think.  We quickly got beyond the standard list and figured out some great blessing
