A Play and a Feast

Halle has been celebrating Thanksgiving at school the past 2 days. Yesterday they did a short ABC Thanksgiving play for all the moms and dads. Halle has been practicing her part for a couple weeks and had it all memorized. She had the letters "A" and "B". I filmed her doing it but you can't hear it very well so I won't post it.

These were her parts:
"A" is for Americans. Some of the earliest Americans were the Pilgrims. They wanted to be free to have their own religion.
"B" is for big ship. The pilgrims sailed across the Atlantic Ocean in a big ship called the Mayflower.




After the play, Halle wanted to go to Training Table for lunch. I'm always up for cheese fries.


Today the Kindergartners got to have a Thanksgiving Feast. They made pilgrim hats and collars, Native American vests and necklaces, and cornucopia place mats.


Halle's teacher is really great about letting the siblings join in on the fun, but it was quite exhausting having my other 2 "helpers" with me. I think I'll leave them home next time.

Emily, Halle, Elle, Maddy, and Samira

Then they all sat down together and ate a feast of turkey, stuffing, and mashed potatoes and gravy...at 10 o'clock in the morning! :)




Hope you all have a great THANKSGIVING!!

Gotta love the pilgrims and the Indians. Mmmm, turkey and cheese fries. I'm getting bloated just thinking about it.

Happy Thanksgiving to you! Sad I'll miss out on the total mayhem this year with you and Grandma and the gang. :)

Halle's teacher always does the funnest things! That picture of you and Halle is darling. And, I can't imagine why Avery wouldn't be so great as a "helper"!?!
