Thanksgiving at school

It's almost Thanksgiving and at Thomas' school, they've been preparing for it and learning about its meaning. Thomas is in the spirit!


Today they had a little Thanksgiving party. Parker and I got to attend and it was fun to see Thomas in his school environment. My pictures are not that great (they're actually some of the worst I've taken in awhile!), but they are, I guess, better than nothing!

First they had a short bit of circle time to sing their little blessing song (I should have made a video of it! Next time, I will!):


Then it was time for their "special snack":


You can kind of see Parker in the background of that picture if you look closely. He was hanging out with another classmate's sibling:


Parker & Sam conspire, "One day, it will be our turn to eat cupcakes!"


Until then, Thomas will have to eat them for Parker:

(The other boy in the picture is the other Thomas in his class; two blonde-haired, blue-eyed Thomases! You may recall there are two boys named Thomas and two boys named Parker. Funny.)

I thought this was cute, a little decoration made by the kids from both classes (the MWF and TR classes):


And then each student made this. Notice that Thomas is thankful for his dog and "new Parker." Not sure what that's about, but it's funny.


Just before we left, I asked him to model it for me. I think he thought I said "mug shot." :)
