Thanksgiving

The day before Thanksgiving break, Clara's music class had a talent show.  Clara wanted to sing Head, Shoulder's Knees and Toes in French.  So I taught it to her, and she performed it!

The Hogle Zoo has free days the last Wednesday of every winter month.  So I decided to take my kids to the zoo the day before Thanksgiving.  This was the first time Joe was old enough to really remember and enjoy the zoo.  He loved going from one animal to the next.  His favorite were the giraffes because, "they are nice and tall."

Thanksgiving Day we got to spend at John and Sharon's.  Clara entertained us as we waited for dinner to start by doing a magic show.

And of course, we had to let Jack try the hat on.

Then came dinner.  there was plenty of food for the 8 of us who were there.

The kids then decided to put on a cooking show together.

Our home teachers came over yesterday and Clara had made a TV from a card board box complete with a card board remote control.  Clara then became a TV show that our home teachers could watch.  I love how entertaining she is!

I'm so thankful that we got to spend a wonderful weekend as a family.  What a blessing that is to us.
