Growing up, every night before family prayer, we would have "favorite experiences" where each person had to tell what their favorite part of that day was. This helped us to think about the good things in our life and often "family prayer" would last over an hour because we would start talking about the things and laughing and it really helped us all know what was going on in each others lives. Ammon and I have continued on with this tradition and I love it. Last year, Ammon and I started a little change for the month of November. Instead of doing favorite experiences, we do thankful feathers.
Meet Thomas T. (for Thankful) Turkey. You will have to pardon his nakedness...how embarrassing to be found with out your feathers. I guess we will have to fix that.
Ahhh...that is much better. This picture was taken a few days ago. He has an even bigger tail now and by the time Thanksgiving comes, he will be one beautiful bird.
Addie and Kimball helped me trace and cut out all the feathers and make our little gobbler. Each night before prayer, we say something we are grateful for and we can't have any repeats. There are many many things to be thankful for and this is just one way to be reminded of them.
I love this tradition
Happy Thanksgiving everyone
