Giving Thanks at school

This week both of our big girls enjoyed Thanksgiving feasts at their schools.

Because they fell at roughly the same time on the same day, I could only attend one. And, since Maggie was in tow, I chose the one that was friendly to siblings... Claire's class.

Here's little Claire celebrating her first Thanksgiving feast at school. She was most impressed with the "turkey" which were actually chicken McNuggets someone elses mom bought. This was Claire's first time eating McDonalds, and she liked it a little too much.

Lilly had a great feast at school also and celebrated with chicken noodle soup, fruit salad, pie and all kinds of yummy food. Sorry I missed it! She was excited to show her head dress and vest she'd made for the big occasion...

 Lilly says she has enjoyed learning about Indians and Programs (Pilgrims) this year.

Lilly brought home a turkey decorated with all of the things she is thankful for. On the turkey's four feathers she wrote she is thankful for, "God, Sun, Dad, Mom."

Claire was also asked what she is thankful for at school. Claire's turkey reads, "Claire is thankful for apple juice."

We are about to begin our big feast at home.

Happy Turkey Day, everyone!
