"Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever!" 1 Chronicles 16:34
Reed has become very interested in holidays. He has learned so much at school and is very eager to learn more and more each day. At the first of November, he came home and started asking us questions about Thanksgiving. One afternoon, I thought of something fun to do with Reed that would help him understand Thanksgiving.
Reed & I made a turkey. I drew him on a poster board, then cut him out. Reed painted most of the stomach, and I painted the rest.
Our finished product:

Then, we cut out all of the feathers and painted them too.
Every day, Reed added a feather to his Turkey. On the feather, we would write something that he is thankful for. Reed came up with every feather ALL by himself. There were two times that he asked me some things that I was thankful for before he told me what to write on his feather. I must say, I am super proud of my sweet 4 year old!

Wow...what an honor! Lala is thankful for her boys! They fill my life with joy and happiness. I know I get a goofy look on my face whenever they are around because they captivate me! I sure do love their mama and daddy, too! God is good....ALL the Time!
I am so suprised at how he came up with everything he is thankful for. This was a wonderful idea and I wished I had thought of it to do with my children. The boys are so cute.
