Family Feast by M

Every Thanksgiving we have a feast. It is always with our entire family, or just the six of us: Carrie (mom), Travis (dad), A (sister), Shadow our 8 year old dog, and Henry David Thoreau our five year old dog. Desquantum (Squanto's full name) started Thanksgiving. We always have a good time. Everybody eats together and chat and blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. Sometimes we paint plates with dad's work friends. It is fun. We eat a special meal. The guests are happy and like the food. Some get some of everything while some will get a lot of one specific thing. Some ask for the recipes to take home. Mom tells them that she found it on the Internet. We take the guests' coats and put them in A's room. THANKSGIVING IS AWESOME! Thanksgiving is cool.


I am thankful for GOD.

WInter by A

Winter is so good. God made winter. I like winter. I like eating the snow. God makes it snow in winter because He is good. It is so good to have winter.  It is so good to have changes.  Jesus helped make winter. I love Jesus and God. They made winter happen. Winter is also pretty.  Winter is so cool and cold. God made good and beautiful things. Jesus was born in springtime. My little sister was born in winter.

I'm thankful for............... PUZZLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tom Turkey by M

Tom Turkey looks in the mirror and what does he see? 1
Why, he is as thin as can be! 2
So he goes to the grocery store and buys some food. 3
He thought he was one cool dude. 4
Then he went to the mirror again.............................. 5
This time he is not too thin. 
But after he ate his food he went to the mirror but this time he was way way way too thin.
But some magic was working because, he was spining spining spin spin spin..............
He almost fell on the floor.
But he caught himself before he fell some more.

Here, Winter! by A

Winter is here and it is the best, cold, snowy season.  Winter is the time of year when it is cold.  It is so cold outside. Elsa from Frozen has snow and ice powers.  Winter has Christmas in it.  Jesus was born that day. I like winter becase it has snow.  You can build a snowman. You can make a fire. You can eat snow.  Snow is so yummy!!!!  You can also eat icicles!

Honey and I cannot wait! Honey is a small teddy bear.  He is so cozy, soft, and warm. My dad gave him to me from Las Vegas. He has honey colored fur. I think he is so cute!  I am  with him right now, giving him all the love you can think of. I am holding him in my arm.  

I love eating honey. My bear, Honey, missed me while I was at Heartland co-op. I missed him too. 

 I'm thankful for...................................................................HONEY MY BEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Votes by M

 Once we made a vote. We made 9,00000 cupcakes (chocolate and vanilla.) Then we asked everyone in the entire world what they wanted. Vanilla won! Vanilla is my favorite flavor. Something funny happened. Only one person raised his/her hand for chocolate! 

Then we set up a stand for a sprinkle contest. Strawberry against chocolate. These were homemade sprinkles. Strawberry won!  

Then they got  to chose the cupcake wrapper and the ingredients. Boy did they love that. Only one person raised their hand for chocolate! Boy that was fun.

I am thankful for JESUS.

Costume Trouble by M

Hi! My name is Hermione Granger. One day I couldn't get my uniform off! Somehow my wand was stuck to me (by the way,so was my skirt, shirt, sweater, socks and shoes). I do something .  I  perform a spell that makes a plant grow. Now, this is a magic plant--a very powerful one too. Then, I do something cool. I break a piece off the plant and rub it on my thumb. Instantly my uniform falls off. Something else cool happened. It did not hurt! So I put on my P.J's. Then I went to bed.

I am thankful for GOD.

A Family Feast by A

A feast happened before Grandpa Oreo and Grandma Nap died. We ate a Thanksgiving meal. 
It was so cool! 

We had turkey, ham, and green bean casserole (which I don't like).  For dessert, we had nut pudding. My favorite dish was sweet potatoes! Before the meal, we said a prayer to God to thank Him for our blessings.

Did you know that Squanto and Massasoit with Samoset started the first Thanksgiving? Well they did! Cool, right?  The English helped them. Squanto wanted to make peace with them. Massasoit (alas) said no!   They went to the English homes.  There was good feasting.



I'm thankful for ....................................................................... MY NEW DOLL SUSAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
