The Feast Has Began!

After battling with the boys to get out the door this morning..they put on a "Great Feast" at school to celebrate Thanksgiving Day. It was so adorable and they did so much to put this together for their class. It made up for the 15 minutes of struggle getting them in the car. They have been working on it all month to surprise the parents. This school rocks! Here are a few things they did (and some good ideas for kid crafts).

They made centerpieces with colored beans/candles, made napkin rings and created a seating card with their face on a turkey. My favorite thing they made were these sweet little placemats with their hand prints and it was with a poem called "Counting our Blessings". The poem says on it:

"My hands are used for working, praying and for play. They grow and change like I do, each and everyday. Upon them there is noted the gifts' God's given me. They are the special blessings that truly makes me- ME!".

Then on each little finger is something unique about them!

Their teacher introduced each kid individually and how each child picked their own Indian name.Christian was "Chief Batman"

Nicolas was "Chief Pirate"

They sang songs for usGot to dine with Grandma, dad and all their friendsDecorate the kiddy tree- Christian very intent!It wouldn't be a feast without lounging around with your buddies after the meal! Yes, Alex (next to Christian) is holding a bible pretending he is reading it!! So cute
