Gratitude Tree

My friend, Alysia, had a great idea for a Thanksgiving project so she invited a few moms and kiddos over to her home yesterday and we busted out the finger paints, crayons, and construction paper and got busy creating a rainbow of leaves!

The idea behind the Gratitude Tree is that at Thanksgiving dinner, each guest will write something they are grateful for on the back of one of the leaves before returning it to the branches. Thus, a bright and festive centerpiece becomes more than decoration and will also serve as the conduit for a beautiful, memorable, ritual. I love this idea!

What traditions/rituals do you look forward to at Thanksgiving?
