Our kids get so excited every Monday for FHE. I just love that the LDS church has designated one night a week that we just spend together as a family. So simple, yet such a fun/crazy/great time.
The ghetto Gratitude Box, where we can all {secretly} write things we are thankful for during the week. The kids can't wait to open it on Thanksgiving Day!
Tonight we talked about Columbus being inspired {1 Nephi 13:11-13} to come to America. It was fun to remember the little 1492 poem... when did we learn that... maybe 2nd Grade?

I got out some OLD scrapbook pages of Plymouth Rock and talked about the 1st Thanksgiving. Maine gals, remember the fiber swap we did? Here are some Moda Dea fibers:}
Our 2nd Thanksgiving in Maine, we drove down to "Eat Like a Pilgrim," a reenactment of the 1st Thanksgiving at Plymouth Plantation. It was more like, "Starve Like a Pilgrim." We paid mega bucks for this teeny little meal {consisting of strained squash, Indian corn mush, a bite of turkey, cheese, and 2 grapes}. I think we ducked out early and hit a Burger King on our way home:) Back then it wasn't the gluttonous feast it is today!

I love the idea of a gratitude box that you open on Thanksgiving - and then make a great scrapbook page out of it! We are grateful for FHE, too! Isn't it nice to have one night of the week where you know there is nothing else scheduled, planned, organized, or taking your time other than your own family? How wonderful!
Hey - nice pics of Plymouth Rock, too - I remember that sign!
Fabulous scrap pages. I do recall the fiber swap, I still have lots of it left. Must mean I need to scrap more often! :-)
You are so creative!!!
