Thankful November

This year I decided to give the boys a list numbered 1-30. The idea was each day they would write one thing they were thankful for. Reece finished the entire list on day 11... and Riley never finished. I guess he has such a rough life that he couldn't think of 30 things to be thankful for. I guess my worst fear was proved that kids are spoiled and truly don't understand how much they are blessed with.

Reece: (I will keep the spelling as-is because it's still so cute!)
