What is Thanksgiving About? - by Lester 2010

"It's when you get to celebrate with a big feast and stuff."




"It's about pumpkins too and scarecrows and turkeys and the harvest."








"There are lots of beautiful leaves that fall from the trees. The leaves turn red and yellow and some stay green. Sometimes they turn brown when they are dead. Green leaves grow back in the spring."

"Thanksgiving is so you might learn your manners."

"It makes us think about all the things that we are thankful for."

Grandma Liz did this activity with Lester one day and printed his exact words out and made a frame of popsicle sticks that Lester colored so he could share his thoughts on Thanksgiving with Joe and I. I must say, I am impressed, he sure has grown up in a year! Last year, he couldn't come up anything that he was thankful for, and the year before that he said he was thankful for presents.....so I think we are making some progress here! :)

Hope everyone had a Happy Turkey Day!
