counting the days

The kids (and us, too!) are getting very excited for the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday. For the past month, they've been asking us daily "How many more days until we go to Grandma's house?" To help them understand I picked up a calendar for each to have in their rooms. Meredith marks her important dates and the days leading up to Grandma's with star stickers; Thomas uses a pen. They both seem to really enjoy this little activity every morning. Three more days until Grandma's house!
