Thanksgiving Celebrations

I know it isn't Thanksgiving yet, but we have been counting down the days to Thanksgiving break. Samantha has been excited because they were having "Colonial Days." She chose to attend as an Indian, but some also went as pilgrims. (Fortunately, we had an Indian Costume so I didn't have to do anything extra.)They set sail on the Mayflower a couple of days ago, all being assigned a particular person and having to experience some of what they had to go through- such as being limited on what they could say or who they could talk to because of their social status. Samantha thought that was pretty rough. She came home today saying it was the best class party she's ever been to. They made sock dolls, did some tin work, and dipped their own candles.
Meanwhile, I was in Megan's class, helping with her Thanksgiving feast. They also were dressed as pilgrims and Indians, talked about what they were thankful for and then enjoyed a complete Thanksgiving meal: turkey, stuffing, rolls, carrots, olives, cranberry sauce and pumpkin pie.


Sorry, no pictures of the actual feast, I guess I was busy serving food from that point on.

And now on to the real Thanksgiving holiday - one of my favorites!
