Thanksgivng Crafts

     Since I had the whole week off of work, Ashlyn and I had lots of extra time to do school work and crafts.  We found lots of of good crafts that Ashlyn was dying to do.  We read books and watched a video on the first Thanksgiving and pilgrims.  Ashyn definitely was understanding the meaning behind the holiday.  We have a ton of ideas for Christmas.  I think the only problem will be having enough time to make all of these crafts.   Here are some of our favorite crafts.


This is the corn that Ashlyn did.  She painted the kernels with q-tips.

Ashlyn was dying to do this craft.  I think it came out just adorable!
This turkey was made with her thumbprint.

I thought that I would really have to explain to Ashyln what it meant to be thankful for something.  The second I asked her, she started spewing out things.  The first two she said were, "All the people in my house" and "All the people I love". Aw!

These turkeys turned out really, really cute.  Ashlyn made them for my parents house since she wasn't going to be there on Thanksgiving.  They used them for their centerpieces.  A little piece of Ashlyn was still there that day :)
