12 Days of Thanksgiving: Day 12

Happy Thanksgiving Eve! I'm so proud of my family for completing this Thanksgiving project. The original goal was to teach our children kindness, but I think it has gone beyond that. I know it has changed my attitude towards others, and instead of being indifferent I look for ways to be nice. I even said Happy Thanksgiving to the TSA.

sent to us while we
were away

The last five days my husband and I have been in Las Vegas celebrating our 10 year wedding anniversary. We didn't share our vacation on social media because we didn't want people to go to our empty house and steal our crap, which is why I didn't mention that in previous posts. Our children stayed with the grandparents. So to continue this project, I put all the supplies and instructions into brown bags for each day. We received pictures of the boys doing their project with some details of how it went. 

We are very grateful that the grandparents were willing to watch our children, so we could take a trip. I'm happy that this project could spill over into the grandparents, but more grateful to them for helping to complete it. It's definitely extra responsibilities. 

This last day of  the 12 Days of Thanksgiving we are celebrating our family. We sent post cards from Las Vegas to our children, and brought back treats for everyone. After all, Thanksgiving is about friends and family.
