It's our Thankful Tree. I ran across the idea somewhere in the blogosphere last year, and it was a big hit here in the Yellow House. The concept is simple: each night, we go around the table and each family member names one thing they're thankful for. If certain 2nd graders insist, they are given rights to the coveted brown Sharpie marker to write their own leaf.
Ahh, friends. Today on Classic Play I am guest posting all about a Friends Thanksgiving - the meaning of a holiday spent with The Other Kind of Family. Let us never forget the gift of our families, crazy as they might be, but also? Keep those friendships on your Thankful Tree. There's nothing like 'em.

Definitely a lump in the throat musing. Wonderful.
I adore this.
Definitely filing away for next year. Thank you and Happy Thanksgiving!!
Thanks for the lovely reminder, friend that I value.
I was so happy to have something new of yours to read. Haven't seen you around much lately, guess life has been busy. Oh, pesky interfering life, how you get in the way of our writing... about life!
Love to you & thinking of you always.
