This year we didn't have many places to go for Thanksgiving. We had Thanksgiving on Sunday with my mom which was fun and nice to do it on a different day to make Thursday a little less hectic. We went to Jared's grandmas for lunch on Thanksgiving day and had a great big meal. Then a few hours later we went to my dad's and had Thanksgiving with the Nuelle family and had another great big meal! The Nuelle family always has around 20 people so normally some sit in the basement and some upstairs. This year, dad decided to put everyone up stairs so we could all be together. We went around and said what we were thankful for, it was nice!
At school, we did something cute and had my kids dress up as pilgrims and the other kindergarten dress up as Indians. We did our own first thanksgiving where we discussed what we were thankful for and created food out of construction paper and glued it to a paper plate. The kids enjoyed this. We also let all of the kids make Indian shirts to wear on Wednesday, the day before. They got to choose their own Indian name I had anywhere from hopping jack rabbit, and howling wolf, to raging red horse, ha. These kids were creative. They LOVED their shirts, and they should! We spent so much money and time into them! We bought plain white t-shirts and dyed them with tea. Then we washed them and dried them, finged them, beaded them, and finally painted them. Whoa that was a lot of work!
