For one of our school projects, we made Indian feathers. Little did I know, Daddy was outside making the boys bow and arrows to go with them. It was a fun school day as we talked through America's history. It will always be in our hearts, no matter where in the world we live.
Our fun feast that consisted of chicken and gravy, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole (from scratch with battered and fried onions on top and a mushroom soup), sweet potato pie (butternut squash with marshmallows on top), corn, veggies and ranch dip (packet from America!), rolls, pineapple/marshmallow/apple/whipped cream salad, no bake chocolate oatmeal peanut butter cookies, peanut butter balls and a dutch oven pumpkin pie from scratch.
It was fun to cook it all! But it was even more fun to see my boys light up when they saw it all! Yay for no rice and curry!
One Happy Family
Koda's festive sign and the boys artwork from school
One day during our school time, we crafted little turkeys out of coconut shells. My brother gave me the idea! The boys collected their sticks, mommy cut the feathers and daddy hot glued :)
The boys colored these! So proud of how well they're doing in school- Koda writing and reading and Kenai coloring in the lines!
It was overall a great holiday! We sure do miss our family back home and holidays just aren't the same. It was my first Thanksgiving with my dad gone; hard to process at times, but the Lord is holding me up.
