It's kind of like an advent thing...you put a new leaf on it each day with something you are thankful for. Anyway, I decided to draw a tree on a piece of cardboard (something we had around the house) and each day we will add a new leaf. Avery helped me do some of the tree and we picked out a bible verse that we both liked and added it as well.
After we made this cute tree and had such grand ideas of things to be thankful for, Avery's first "thanks" was for her toys. It's an honest answer from a 4 year old and I couldn't fault her for it. So, our very first leaf says "Avery is thankful for toys". :) I plan on adding leafs from Mommy and Daddy and we might guess for Riley - since she can't verbalize these things yet. :)

I love it! I'm going to have to steal that idea!
Your tree looks so cute!! I love how you are letting 'A' have ownership over so much of the project too! Can't wait to read about your Giving Tree!
I love it. That is such a good idea.
