Thanksgiving fun!

We met with our international English discussion group the week before Thanksgiving to share about the true meaning of Thanksgiving [Pilgrims feasted to celebrate all God had provided for them after their first year in the new world. They came here for religious freedom and that was the basis on which our country was founded! Later, during the Civil War, President Lincoln made Thanksgiving a national holiday to remind people of how our country was founded and the need to give thanks to God]  We also made a few tasty Thanksgiving treats together.....


My creations!

Displaying our handiwork! Maggie got to eat a few more sweets that night
than usual, but she hung in there well! Our int'l friends are from L-R Armenia,
Pakistan, Mongolia, Brazil, and Ivory Coast. Kelsey, who's helping with
Bridges is in the back by Maggie and me.
