Thanksgiving festivities





 Jeremiah's class had a special Thanksgiving celebration at the community center. They had eight stations where they learned about the lives of the pilgrims and Native Americans. They made their own pumpkin dessert, strung macaroni necklaces and played games. Mom shared information the pilgrim and Native American homes and the food they ate. (Her station was at the bottom of the favorites list....)

Jeremiah's class dressed as pilgrims and the other class were Indians. The parents provided a full Thanksgiving feast. Oddly, Jeremiah's favorite thing was cinnamon bread. It should be noted that the baker has a professional pie business! 



We traveled north for Thanksgiving celebrations on Wednesday morning. This allowed the boys to lend a hand for some of the preparations. Andrew helped make pies. He peeled a few apples with Grandpa and liked using the rolling pin with Aunt Carrie. She even outfitted him with an apron.

We enjoyed Thanksgiving lunch with all the Todd aunts and uncles, and then headed over to G&G Schnitzler to spend the evening there with family.
