Ryan has been telling us for nearly a week now that "it's almost Turkey day!" Us - and anyone else who will listen. Though he doesn't fully appreciate the awesomeness of Thanksgiving (his dad will teach him, I'm sure), he had a chance today to get a glimpse of what's to come. Ryan's class had their own version of Thanksgiving, with each family bringing in a different item. They had quite the feast - turkey, green bean casserole, sweet and mashed potatoes, mac and cheese and corn among a plethora of other T-day staples. We brought bottled water. Don't judge. Between hosting our first Thanksgiving ever and knowing these kids would need something nutritious to wash down all that food, water seemed like the ideal item to bring. Besides, we got cool ball-shapped bottles for the kids. So we deserve some parent points, right?
In preparation for the feast and in their lessons about why we celebrate Thanksgiving, Ryan's class made very cool pilgrim and indian hats - which also served as table decorations for our feast the following day. He chose to rock the pilgrim hat while noshing on some food.
My favorite part of the practice round? These cool, creative Turkey cookies. But my ball-shapped bottled waters are still cooler.
