Thanksgiving Sunday Fun!

On Sunday, November 18 we had a Thanksgiving celebration at our church. A couple of the families, including us, dressed up like pilgrims. Our dad said we were the Bradford family. During this time some of the men from our church read to us about the pilgrims. The kids also got to write down some of their blessings on banners our family made titled Thanksgiving Blessings. Just around this time we also celebrate OCC—Operation Christmas Child—where you pack a shoe box for a needy child in the age categories of 2-4, 5-9 or 10-14. We ended up with around 20 boxes. We prayed for our boxes and hoped that the kids who got them would become believers in Christ Jesus. We also had a potluck, as is the custom every Sunday, except this time each family brought a Thanksgiving side and we made two 20 pound turkeys. It was delicious, and we had a ton of food! We took lots of picture and had tons of FUN! Hope you had a great Thanksgiving too.
