Kindergarten Thanksgiving Feast

Luke's class put together the sweetest Thanksgiving program.  Parents were invited to their Thanksgiving Feast where the children wore their own handmade costumes, answered questions about the first Thanksgiving, expressed their gratitude for those things (and people) most important to them, and shared their art projects and snacks that they prepared with us.

Luke shares what he has written on his feather.  He is grateful for his friend, Owen.

After the Thanksgiving Feast, parents and extended families were invited to join the school in the church to listen to the Kindergarten class' retelling of the first Thanksgiving.  Each child had a part that they memorized and recited to the audience.

Afterwards, Mia congratulates her big brother on a great program.

Thankful

Happy Thanksgiving!

Again this year we have so very much to be thankful for. In the words of my dear friend Joanna today, "Thankful doesn't even begin to describe it."

My thoughts exactly...

We spent a quiet Thanksgiving at home with our little family of four this year. We watched the Thanksgiving Day parade, put up some Christmas decorations, and stayed in our pajamas most of the day. It was a lovely, relaxing day - the kind that just doesn't come along very often lately. Michael and I enjoyed a fabulous dinner together after the kids were in bed and reflected on just how grateful we are for the many, many blessings in our lives.

We celebrated Thanksgiving on Friday again this year at (Uncle) Todd and Michelle's lovely home. In true Mia fashion, she loved the meal :). In true Luke fashion, he at crackers and a cheese stick and then fully enjoyed himself some dessert. Oh well ...

Happy Thanksgiving, friends and family. We are so thankful for each of you!

Happy Thanksgiving

I have so very much to be thankful for - this year and always. When I think of the one thing in the world that I am most thankful for, you - Luke, is the first that comes to mind (and Daddy is not even a full thought behind!).

This Thanksgiving, because we are celebrating tomorrow at Uncle Todd's house, we spent the morning just hanging together as a family. We baked pumpkin bread, watched the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade, and you and Daddy started decorating for Christmas.

It was the most perfect Thanksgiving, the perfect morning, with my two most favorite guys - who I am so very thankful for.
