The 2022 Thanksgiving Garland

We started this family tradition in 2010.

A jute string with some yarn and a couple of photos.

Sparse but good. Twelve years later 

we have added 3 sons-in-laws, 10 grandchildren,

 and more blessings than we can count.

We have moved to the fluffy category.

Fluffy is good.

 

Each year I get a few photos texted 

to me by my daughters.

I ask for 2 photos of each child, one family 

and one with the child crew.

Maybe a few reminders and a printing deadline later,

 but their help is invaluable for the project.

After all, I am making the tags for very busy 

working moms with littles- as a gift.

The Wilson Crew photos.

The Schumacher Crew photos.

The Meier Crew photos.

I make a set of each of the cards 

for the garland for Papa and Gigi.

The #dengrandloves enjoy looking 

at the photos of themselves and cousins and family.

We have added blessings and gratitudes, Bible verses,

and dinner place cards as tags.

This is the story of the family faith rhythm

 of giving thanks.

We give thanks- in all things.

Rejoice always, pray continually-

for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for us.
