"Christmas time is here..."

 

Our pretty little tree sans ornaments. Those we have to collect over the years or make again like we did last year. With McKayleigh in a school geared towards the arts- I believe we'll have our share of handmade ornaments!

Happy Thanksgiving!

 

 

 

 

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving, filled with Macy's parades, decorating, cooking, baking my first real pumpkin pie- not thawing one out!, and eating all of our goodies. We have been blessed with so many wonderful things and the most wonderful gift of all- our beautiful family. Our tree is up, Christmas music is on, and our bellies are full. Andrew had a paid day off today and gets triple pay tomorrow- so look out holiday shopping! We hope everyone of our friends and family made as many memories as we did!

McKayleigh's Thanksgiving Program

 

 

 

 

McKayleigh had a Thanksgiving program in her class yesterday. They made Friendship Soup- a soup where each student brought in a can of vegetables and they all went into the pot to create a yummy soup from her teacher. They then sang turkey songs, songs about being thankful for what they have, and performed a story about Squanto. Each student had to memorize a few sentences from the book and illustrate what they had to say. They then bravely stood in front of their class and the parents and performed! The little pilgrims and Native Americans looked so sweet and brought home many Thanksgiving crafts they had made throughout the month! Keep watch for her Kindergarten Winter Performance!
