Being thankful....

Tonight for family night we talked about being thankful. We each had "feathers" to write down 4 things we are thankful for and then we added them to our "turkey". We have done this every Family Night before Thanksgiving since Noah was little and I save every turkey we've made. Here's our list from this year:

Nathan (he came up with these on his own!)
* the seasons
* turkey
* guitar
* Aki (his beloved elephant)

Noah
* the earth
* friends
* family
* Legos

Erin
* Noah, Nathan, Scott
* books
* my health
* kit kats (which is ironic, I know, since it's impeding my health)

Scott
* job
* family
* music

So, I must tell you about last year's list. Nathan was 2 and I didn't really think he'd get the idea of listing something that you're thankful for. So, we went around the table and all of us said what we were thankful for. We get to Nathan and ask him what he is thankful for and he says, "Trees". I'm so impressed! Yea, he understands! A few seconds later he adds, "and boogers".
Good times.
