Thanksgiving

Our Thanksgiving activities started with a "Feast" in Caleb's class on Wednesday morning.


Caleb learned that a "feast" means "lots of yummy food" and there was a lot of food. I think most of us parents had a little trouble eating a feast at 9:00 in the morning, but it was fun to see the kids all together at this long table.


Thanksgiving Day, I got up at 7:00am to get the turkey and the stuffing ready. At 10:00, I finally got to sit down for a small break all the while thinking "wow, how has my mom done this all these years?"


Our wonderful friends, The Benefields, joined us for the day. It was such a treat to have them with us. We have been so blessed to have them in our lives over the last 2 years. They will be truly missed when they move next week...
