Thanksgiving

Here are Caden and Cole modeling Caden's Pilgrim and Native American gear that he made at school. On the Tuesday before Thanksgiving, Caden's kindergarten class acted out the story of Thanksgiving--the Pilgrims' boat ride to America, building houses, the difficult winter, and the Thanksgiving feast with the Native Americans. Caden looked forward to this school day for all of November, and he was thrilled with the day's activities.

We spent a great Thanksgiving, plus two days after, in Benton with Grammy, Grandpa, and Aunt Mariah. The boys enjoyed their chocolate turkeys after dinner.

Caden and Cole had a great time playing with the three dogs--Louis, Bella, and Betsy. This morning (a week after our visit), Cole spent several minutes whining about how much he wanted a puppy. Mia voted NO.

So much to be thankful for, including the upcoming activities of Christmas season!
