What a cute idea! A thankful tree would be a fun centerpiece at our family gatherings and would help the kids focus on why we were getting together.

I love this idea. We don't have very big holiday get togethers because most of our family lives out of state, but I think would be a fun idea to adapt. I'm thinking I'll make a Thankful Tree for my girls (mainly my oldest right now- 4 years old) to decorate with thankful leaves daily. We can do it for a year (may have to periodically remove the leaves and put them in a box to save) and at the end of the year we can sit down and go over all the things she was thankful for every day for the entire year. Plus I think this would be a neat thing for her to have to look back on when she's grown up. Thanks for the great idea!
