Thanksgiving Madness


So we had our whole block over for Thanksgiving. It was fun but also a little crowded. Over 15 adults and 8 children. In my little home that's a lot of people. But, Love does grow best in little houses, so I'm not complaining. Also it was nice to have so many friends to be thankful for especially when we are so home sick :) We had the neighborhood kids over a few days before to make our decorations for the party. We made paper plate turkey's and cut out the kid's hands prints for the feathers. We also asked the kids what they were thankful most about their parents and put them on place cards along with leaves they each picked out from our yard. It was great to incorporate the children into the real spirit of Thanksgiving. We had ton's of food, watched football, mingled and played games with the kids. During the evening we all placed the things we are thankful for in a box and at the end of the night we sat around and let the kids help us read them aloud. The spirit was strong and everything went great. I am thankful for all the blessings God has given me and my family.
