Thanksgiving Countdown

Day 4-Popcorn on the Cob
The kids glued popcorn onto some cob pictures and we were supposed to watch Charlie Brown Thanksgiving, but we weren't able to get it. Hopefully next year. 


 We have been reading all of our Thanksgiving books. I love when I find the kids with a pile of books. Even Gwen loves looking at books. 


 Day 3-Thumbprint Turkey's. 
Adam and Tessa each made a turkey out of their thumbprints. 


 Day 2-Indian Vests
We made our traditional paper bag Indian vests. They both made Thanksgiving hats at school, so we just did the vests this year. Adam filled his vest with Indian symbols he learned at school. Tessa made up her own symbols for things like Squid and Jelly Fish. Creatures the Indians ran into often, I'm sure. That's our Tessa Boo for you!
 We also played a Thanksgiving alphabet game and Pin the Feather on the Turkey. 
They are excited to watch the parade tomorrow morning and spend the afternoon at Mamma and Bampa's house. We are so thankful to live close to our families!
