Carter and Elise are Thankful

Two years ago I started the tradition of having Carter write down something he's thankful for each day in November to use as our countdown for Christmas in December. We write what he says he's thankful for each day on a strip of scrap paper and then staple the strips together to make a chain. In December he'll tear one off each day as a countdown to Christmas. Since I use scrap paper we end up with random colors. Then when Carter rips off his chain in December I read him what is written on it and it reminds him to continue to be thankful even though Thanksgiving is over. Last year I recorded what Carter was thankful for along with random words Elise yelled at me when I asked her what she was thankful for in a post here. I also documented what he was thankful for in 2015 here. It's cute to see how things have changed over the years with his responses. It was also a lot of fun for Elise to be involved and actually add things to her chains. So here is what Carter and Elise are thankful for this year:
