Last night, Ella and her kindergarten classmates invited all of their parents to a special Thanksgiving Program and Feast. In class, they've been working hard on this and it was a special night.
We started the night with their adorable little program. The 3 kindergarten classes joined together and recited Psalm 100 and a couple fall and Thanksgiving poems. We learned about Pilgrims and Indians and the kids sang songs like "Hi Yo Witzi" and "Where is Plymouth?"
After the program, we all found our places at tables the kids had decorated with personalized name tags, turkey place mats, little tepees and stand-up Pilgrims. Ella was thrilled that our table included her two good friends, Chloe and Amanda. Dave and I really enjoyed getting to know some other kindergarten parents at this dinner.
We loaded our plates up with all the traditional Thanksgiving favorites-- turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, corn, cranberry sauce and pumpkin pie!
At the top of my list of what I am most thankful for this year is the fantastic experience Ella is having in kindergarten. She's learning a lot, loving her teacher and making great friends. This new stage of life has been filled with nothing but blessings!
