This past week, we kicked off our Thanksgiving Countdown. I originally started our countdown activities to go along with our Mommy School program, but now they have just become a favorite holiday tradition and the kids always look forward to them. That makes all the work worth it.
We had to do our Turkey Hunting. This is always a favorite. Gwen was a surprisingly good shot this year!
We added a new game this year and I think it will have to be added to our favorites list. We had so much fun with Turkey Feather Races! This game produced many happy giggles.
We painted pumpkins
We made Mayflower treats and talked about the Pilgrim's and all that they endured to come to America.
I had to add this picture just for Gwen's face.
We made Pilgrim puppets and turkey handprints
And, we made some Teepee's.
We've got a few activities left before the big day! We are excited to have some special family time next week and use these next couple of days to reflect on how blessed we are. Heavenly Father has been so good to us and I am grateful for this time of year when we slow down a bit and really think about our many blessings. It's overwhelming to think how blessed we are, I love our life and wouldn't trade it for anything!
