Grateful for my turkeys' art

Can't resist posting some of my favorite pictures the kids have made this week in preparation for Thanksgiving. 

We have our classic cornucopia:

Whitney's first attempt at drawing the pilgrims:
Hmmmm....

After I saw that pic above I realized that Whitney must have missed my reading of the Thanksgiving books we checked out from the library and that her first grade class must not have effectively taught her much at her Thanksgiving celebration... So we had a little home lesson about the pilgrims and why we celebrate Thanksgiving.

Much better, Whit...

I love Cole's "idein" (indian), "TRCE" (turkey), and "Pilgum" (pilgrim) below:
He made sure to point out that the indian is wearing a red vest.

Of course the kids traced their own hands for the classic hand turkey:

I thought Annie's wasn't too bad for her first time!
I love that Cole just plopped a beak on his turkey wherever he thought would be appropriate.

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Love it!! So darling. I miss that. I used to do that kind of stuff with Emma and Jake and always forget to do it with Brandon. Thanks for the reminder.
