Last week Eliza was given a pilgrim project for social studies at school. She was to find an ancestor that was a pilgrim, then decorate an old fashioned clothespin to look like that ancestor and bring it in for a presentation about the ancestor. The Saturday before the project was due we met Jon's sister and her husband at the temple. My sister-in-law told us of an ancestor of theirs who came across the Atlantic Ocean from Wales and lost a baby on the ship over. She told us that we could look online and find a lot of information about her. So, that's who Eliza did her presentation on. Jon and I helped Eliza make the clothing and hair for her clothespin doll ... but there were other children in her class that made backdrops and props for their dolls. Such a great family history project!

You guys did a great job accessorizing too. That's a good keepsake for Eliza as well.
