Thanksgiving Bunting

This is the Thanksgiving Bunting that I made. I cut leaf shapes out of felt then just ran them threw my sewing machine. I have seen really cute ones on pintrest but I did not have the time. You can see some of  our Pilgrim houses and Indian tee-pees on top of the mantel that Lilly and I made. She was wanted to display them there so we put little lights in them and turn them on at night and they are pretty cute! Plus some of our smaller pumpkins.The bunting I got from this web site

Thankful Basket

This year I am starting a new tradition to do with my family. I made these little felt baskets one for each of us ( Lilly, Raley, my Mother, my Father, and myself). Each night we write one thing we are thankful for that the other person did. So I will stick a note in everyone's but myself same with everyone else will do the same. Then on Thanksgiving eve we will open all the notes and read them. Its a great way to appreciate the little things your loved ones do on a daily basis and to teach little ones about the value of the small things to be Thankful for.  

Thankful Tree

Got all the Halloween stuff up today and Thanksgiving is no out! This is our Thanksgiving Thankful Tree. It has 22 hands from each girl on it. Everyday I am are going to write down 1 thing they are each Thankful for! Today Lilly's was "Her Friends and mommy" Raley's was "Her Minnie Mouse game" that I got her for her birthday. Its going to be fun seeing all the hands and their thoughts when it all done and going back over the years seeing the different sets! On the back I wrote there names and will number them.
