Thankful Jar

This year we started a new tradition with our kids...we had them decorate a little jar with stickers and then had a little bag of those marble rocks. Each night after reading books we would take turns and put a rock in the jar and say something we were thankful for. We started November 1st and ended November 30th. The kids enjoyed it so much and looked forward to it every night. They enjoyed watching our jar grow with the pretty marble rocks representing all the things we are thankful for. They got to take turns handing out the rocks and passing around the jar. It really made us think of all the things we are thankful for and it was wonderful to hear all the things our children are thankful for. This is definitely the beginning of a new tradition that I hope will last for years, and maybe our children will one day continue the tradition with their own families.
