Missionary Thanksgiving

This is our first Thanksgiving away from Kiarra and after much Pinterest and Google searching and hunting....I concluded none of them possessed the ides that I was looking for. I knew what I was looking for, except I did not know what it was but, I would know it when I saw it....in my head that makes sense :/

I know Kiarra...inside and out, I know her! I know what she likes, what she wants, I know what she is Thankful for...which gave me the idea for the perfect missionary Thanksgiving Day package.

I make her a Thankful Box, it contained ALL the items that I knew she was Thankful for.

I made little cards that said I am Thankful for.....and then the item, and I attached them to said item.

 

In keeping with her quirky humor I included:

 

I am Thankful for Toasty Hands - Gloves

I am Thankful for being Warm - Leggings

I am Thankful for Kids - Sour Patch Kids

I am Thankful for Prophets - Picture of the Prophet

I am Thankful for Smiles - Wax Lips

I am Thankful for Soft Skin - Lotion

I am NOT Thankful for Stinky Breath  - Pack of Gum

I am Thankful for being Dry - Mini SHAM WOW

I am Thankful for Cakes & Pies - Little Debbie Snack Cakes

I am Thankful for Family - Family Pictures with a note from each of us

 

There were more but I'm sure that gets the picture across.

 

We also included a postit note Thankful banner.

I got a pack of postit notes (the pop up kind, they open up still attached) and wrote:

Reasons we are Thankful for Sister Zubicki....and then we wrote a reason or word why on each postit note.

 

 

We mailed it out with a note written on the box saying DO NOT OPEN UNTIL THANKSGIVING!

I know it's not mashed potatoes and gravy with grandma but, I hope it brings a little joy into her day and puts a smile on her face.

 

We are SO very Thankful for Sister Zubicki!
