Give Thanks

For two months, I've been working on a Thanksgiving Advent calender. I wanted to make something to help our family give thanks all the month of November. And I love wool felt. This project was awesome, and I finished it yesterday! Each day is a pocket and we will put in things to help us be grateful for every day like "I'm grateful for my hands. Finger paint today" or "I'm grateful for cousins. Write or call one of your cousins and tell them how much you love them." etc.

The Friendly Hero helped as much as he could, by taking out pins, pulling the felt apart, trying to help me sew on the binding. I'm just grateful that he likes hanging out with Mom and is interested in what she's doing. I am glad that it's done long before the Penguin Hero arrives.

Friendly Hero, demonstrating what a big helper he is.
