Fall festivities 2010

Halloween 2010; We had are little "party" with home made pizza bagels, doughnut holes, and apple cidar. You kids loved helping us make the pizza. After it got dark we went out trick or treating, I did not plan on taking you to alot of houses but more than what we got the chance to do, after the 7th house it began to down pour and on top of that it was freezing and windy so we ran home. I must say for only 7 houses you got alot of candy. I sadly do not have pictures. Chloe was a ballerina Adam was a farmer, and Genevieve was grump bear.

Thanksgiving- Lots of food and fun. for the week of Thanksgiving we made some cute projects and I tought you the real story of thanksgiving which I will add at the bottom of this. We had a wonderful dinner and Grandpa Allen, Amber, and Amani joined us which made it even better.

The real thanksgiving story

Pilgrims came to America looking for riches and found Native Americans, the natives took sympathy for these strange white people. The Natives showed the white people how to grow food and hunt. They had a big feast to show there thanks for the fall harvest. Some time later the white people (pilgrims) raped the woman and children, killed some and in slaved others. Years later more white people came and killed off the buffalo so that the plain Natives had no food and were forced in to reservations. Now in 2010 Native Americans still live on reservations. So when we celebrate thanksgiving we celebrate the fall harvest and show how thankful we are for family friends and everything else in life.
