Thanksgiving

Alan and Ellen were kind enough to invite us to their new house for Thanksgiving . It was kind of tough for us. We have been doing Thanksgiving for a long time and it was probably time for a change. It was great. I don't know how they had that house organized and all moved in and decorated so cute, but they sure did. We had a lovely (and yummy meal). The best part was after--the Thanksgiving Extravaganza. In third grade Alan learned a Thanksgiving poem, "If I Were a Pilgrim Child." It has taken on a life of its own. It is a legend. Sometimes even hilarious--he does it so seriously. He has taught it to his three year old daughter so it has returned to its proper roots. She recited it flawlessly. There was also a reenactment of Indians ,Lincoln and Teddy, showing the little pilgrim girls, Alice and Natalie, where to find cranberries. It was a thespian delight-as only two three year olds and two one year olds can do. What sweet, sweet kids. Thanks kids for such a nice day.
