We had a relaxing Thanksgiving! We cooked way too much food, and the boys took naps.
Savannah and I made pies.
I made pumpkin pie for Court because it's his favorite. It looks perfect doesn't it? Well it doesn't taste like pumpkin pie. I forgot to put the sugar in it. I am so mad at myself!

4. I'm thankful for my hands. Savannah colored paper plates with chalk. It works really well. I cut up scrapbook paper for Savannah and she glued the pieces onto the paper plates. She had so much fun!
Wrap a matching ribbon around paper strips. I added little tags that I made with my cricket home expressions.
I found these on www.somewhatsimple.blogspot.com and printed them.

Mod Podge baby formula can, then place scrapbook paper around it. Mod Podge over paper.
Wrap paper around to curl and place inside the thankful jar. Place crinkled paper on the top of the jar and wrap a rubber band around it and then cover the rubber band with a ribbon.

On the back of one of the strips write something that you are thankful for.
Cut up strips of scrap book paper. Crinkle a large square of paper for the lid.
