We "planted" our tree in a pot and made some leaves! We cut our leaves out of orange, yellow, red, and brown construction paper and then used a hole punch along with a few pieces of twine to turn them into hanging leaves. Caleb was particularly thrilled with the hole punch. He specifically asked to keep the hole punch in his craft drawer for a few days :)
Then we wrote the things we're thankful for on the leaves and hung them on the tree. We made lots of extra leaves so that we can keep adding to the tree over the next few days.
Can you read what's on that red leaf? Caleb's thankful for Emerson. I decided that it was definitely picture worthy-- I need to remember this leaf during those moments when the kids can't seem to co-exist peacefully in the same room. We are thankful for each other...

Elissa, I am Jamie's sister-in-law Laura and I have to admit that I love looking at your blog. Your son Caleb was due the same time as mine, but of course you had him early. I love watching how your whole family does life. And I love your style!
Thanks Laura!!
i love this too! i'm totally doing this (me, the NONcrafty one!)
this is a great idea... i may be "borrowing" the idea today infact... sometime when little poeple start getting older they find it harder to think about what they are thankful for, and my oldest has been in a mood lately and i think this will cure it! plus it looks super trendy and ultra fall cool!!
I'm going to make this with my kids too!!! Such a cute idea. PS. I'm friends with Andrea. :) Love reading your blog and seeing all of your projects!
