Sunday, Day 5.5 of Thanksgiving break. The day is coming to a close and back to school and work for everyone. It was a nice break but now it is over.
Tuesday was the Kindergarten Feast! The kids celebrated Thankgiving with a feast of turkey, cornbread, pumpkin pie and veggies. I spent the morning seting up and getting ready. My class had a lot of parent volunteers so I helped in the bi-lingual class where there were less volunteers. What I found were homemade tamales - delicous! One mom brought in four or five different kinds - what a treat!
The Feast consisted of the kids eating their snack together with all 130 classmates. That was it. No program, no festivities, no celebration. The Feast was followed by playground fun at recess and then Walker and I headed home.

Wednesday Walker, Reese, Bryce and I went to Chuck E. Cheese to play games and eat pizza. Fun for all. The kids really enjoyed each other's company.
We had a lovely Thansgiving with surrounded by our family and close friends. As always, Don roasted a beautiful turkey. I made Betty Grandma's yummy cornbread dressing and everyone else brought the rest. Reese asked to watch carve the turkey so he could learn how.
Following dinner, the sports fans found a football game, the kids found the Nintendo and everyone else gathered for a chat.
Saturday, a dear friend organized a ladies lunch. The tea room was fabulous and the company nice. We are going to try to organize again, maybe next time at a wine bar. Sounds good to me.
Today has been a lazy day. Don and Reese saw a movie and Bryce and Walker played together nicely until Reese returned and they ganged up on him.
Life is good.
