Thanksgiving Favorites

These are some of our favorite books we are reading for Thanksgiving. I love this book and so does Jack, what a great story about how God uses terrible things that happen in our life for his glory. All three of my kids love this book. There is a happy baby named Jack in green and a crabby baby in blue and on every page they find the happy and crabby baby. They think it is hilarious! This is Jack's resource for his face painting, his poor face is really suffering this year from the markers and face paint! I am having to limit his trials to once a week. The book is good for learning about everyday life for the pilgrims.
They LOVE this book, in fact Luke has memorized it and will recite it througout the day. If you see him ask him and he will recite it, really he will!
This was one of our crafts for Thanksgiving, we went on a nature hike and gathered a bunch of stuff. Then they each chose a few letters to glue the stuff we found on to, it was so easy and very fun. I did have to run out a few times to get berries from the front to finish the letters but otherwise even Selah did this one easily. I should have strung it up with some twine to be cute but I right now don't have the time or stuff to do it.
This is Jack singing for his homeschool chorus group last weekend. He sang "Do Unto Others" and "A Song of Thanksgiving" and did a really good job.
