Every Thanksgiving, we gather at my mother's. To show our appreciation, we surprised her with a special "apron of thanks." We cut all six grandkids' handprints from different autumnal fabrics, sewed them on, and used puffy paint to make them look like turkeys. We also used the paints to add small leaves. Then we embroidered "We're thankful for Grandma" at the top. The kids each said why they were grateful for Grandma when they presented it to her. As you might imagine, it was a tearful moment for us all.
