TRADITION--The Turkey

Our traditional Thanksgiving Turkey!
He's getting a bit dog eared and bent, but he's faithful--and...and...colorful. (if you can't say something nice after all.)

Handmade feathers.

And the turkeys who made them (minus Mom and Dad)

Somethings that made the feathers this year:
Swimming Lessons
Hill Air Force Base
The *Click* of a Camera
Band
Football
Jesus
Testimony
A Big Loud Dinosaur
Family
Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread
Mountains
Hiking
School
Native American Picture Writing
Allowed (As in am I ALLOWED to bring this...to wherever...) Ethan LOVES Allowed!
The Holy Ghost
Booms
Skiing
Scriptures
Music
Smiley's
Amazon

Yes, we have MUCH to be Thankful for...

What a great tradition! We did this one year with a tree and handprint-shaped leaves. I never thought to have it be an ongoing project, though. I guess I'd better get on the ball!

I'm with Amanda - I've done a "thankful tree" before, but never a turkey. What a great idea. Thanks for sharing.

Wonderful idea! I hope I remember this for next year. I wanted to do something along that line this year but never could figure out a good way to do it. The turkey feathers are fabulous, and a fun decoration to boot.
