Kindergarten Feast 2012

Even the kindergarten class had a Thanksgiving Feast!  I was in charge of the "dessert station."  Surprise?!? 

Em's teacher had stations set up for the kids.  Each station represented a thanksgiving type food.  For example at station #1 the kids made patterns on toothpicks with ham and cheese cubes, them #2 they made fruit salad, then stuffing and even mashed potatoes.  At my station the kids mixed pudding with canned pumpkin pie filling in little cups, put a few crushed Nilla Wafers in there and then added a scoop of cool whip on top...........and just like that they have pumpkin pie cups.

It was a really cute "whole group" learning activity and I feel lucky that both Paul and I could be there.

I Am Thankful

........for my beautiful family, their health and their well being, for the health of my parents, I am thankful for the fact that Em and Tyson could spend a whole week with their grandparents, the fact that Paul was able to be off for a few days too, I am thankful that he embraces my family like they are his own (or puts up with all of us when we are together) and they too embrace him like he is one of the them

I am thankful that Mom and Em are buds

I am thankful that Em almost has the "pretty pose" thing down

I am thankful that Tyson and my parents have such a great relationship

I am thankful for my Mom who made me endless cups of hot lemon tea over the holiday so I could get my voice back (even though Paul and Dad begged her not to)

I am thankful for Jenn........who we can laugh with or at

but still loves us anyway

I am thankful for my wonderful husband who puts up with me and because he gave my daughter those beautiful blue eyes


I am thankful that my dad got a grandSON whom he can do "boy" things with like hunt for bugs all day long in the backyard

this is just a few things in no particular order.......the list could go on forever

I am thankful!
