Brody's Thanksgiving Feast/ Turkey Trot

Every year Brody's school has a Turkey Trot.  It is a short race around the playground area.  We had so much fun cheering him on.  He did a fantastic job despite his shoe coming off!  Oops!

Yesterday Brody's class performed a cute Thanksgiving play.  When I'd asked him what part he was playing he said "a dead pilgrim".  I wondered how that was going to go, but he pulled it off brilliantly.  When the narrator announced that some pilgrims had died while on the Mayflower coming to America, Brody dramatically fell to the floor (everyone in the crowd laughed).  Afterwards we all enjoyed a wonderful feast!  After lunch we headed over to the park that is behind the school and let the kids play.  It was 80 degrees out...gorgeous!  To end the day we signed Brody out of school early and headed to the movies to see Arthur Christmas (cute movie).  What a day!  We have so much to be thankful for this year!  We're very blessed to have our health and the love of our family and friends.  We hope you all have a Happy Thanksgiving!
The boys in Brody's class were so excited for the big race!

Go Brody!

This is Brody's friend Noah.  He's moving to North Carolina after Christmas.  He'll miss him so much! 

Grandma and Papa hung out with us all day!

We were so excited that Mimi could get off of work to join us for the feast!

Here is Brody's pilgrim that he made for the play...cute!

Here's the Mayflower ship that the kids made.

Here's the dead pilgrim part!

At the end each student explained what their part was in the play.

This is Brody's teacher Mrs. Wagner...we LOVE her!

We hope you all have a blessed Thanksgiving Day with your loved ones!  xoxo
