1st Thanksgiving Feast

This is my cute Thanksgiving Book we make. I love it!  :)
It is the rare cute put together craft I do. It has a little making and writing, so it is perfect for me!
Plus I just think it is really cute.

We watch part of a Thanksgiving video. And then every day we add to the video and do another page. Some years, when things are crazy, I will watch a little part, do a page, then re-watch and add a little and do another page. It just depends on how the year and class goes.
