Thanksgiving was a week long celebration for us! We started with (another job I headed up as room room) the Thanksgiving cooking and food prep day on Monday. The kids gathered in the hall where they snapped green beans, cut fruit for a fruit salad, made cornbread muffins, shaked and baked some chicken, and made pumpkin pies. We also had the kids make handprint table runners, flower can centerpieces, and pinecone turkeys. It was a crazy circus, but really fun!

Then Tuesday it was time for the kids to enjoy all their labor with a Thanksgiving Feast! They looked so darling in their pilgrim and indian costumes and enjoyed the meals they prepared!

I scooted out of work at lunch to say hello and see all my hard work come to fruition!
Caroline really wanted to be a pilgrim (the teacher assigned what they ended up wearing) so we took a pic of Pilgram Caroline when she got home!
Thursday we loaded up the car (complete with Heisman) and headed to Yuma for Thanksgiving
the kids were excited to spend the day with family
