For Thanksgiving this year I copied a friends idea to get my kids to focus on gratitude. I put out a blank slate and lots of markers on one our tables:

 It filled up extremely fast and the whole family loved it! There were cute ones; friends, family, legos, electricity, our house, food, etc. But some of them made me laugh or shocked the bajebbas out of me:

We had a bonfire while it was out and unbeknownst to us many of our sweet friends and their kids even added to it. Such a great idea and we will be adding it to our family thanksgiving tradition!
