I love the excitement the days before a holiday! This year was no different. The day before Thanksgiving, we decided to make our school day and art day. It was so fun painting and drawing and being creative!
Then, that night, we made hot cocoa and sat by the fire with all our comfy blankets and read stories of Thanksgiving together. The kids love hearing about the Pilgrims and the Indians and how they shared their harvest together. When they see the struggles they went through, it remind them to be thankful for the many, many blessings we have!
We also made some fun crafts from Hobby Lobby (I love that store!) that decorated our table on the big day. What fun we had preparing!
Aw, I love seeing everyone snuggled in their cosy blankets by the fire learning about history and why we celebrate. God bless!
