It's always fun to attend the Thanksgiving feast at school. Boston's lucky to have a dad with a very flexible work schedule who can also attend. We learned after his kindergarten year, that you DO NOT eat the school's Thanksgiving feast...you bring your own lunch.
Boston requested Wendy's. So Wendy's it was.
Right after Boston's feast, we had to RUSH to Hudson's. His was a little more enjoyable of a feast---CHICKFILA, grapes, rolls, tater tots and cupcakes. He scored big.
The last day before Thanksgiving break, Boston came walking to the car after school wearing this.
Apparently, he won the CHEIF SQUANTO award. I guess throughout November you could earn a feather if you were being good. Well, apparently he collected the MOST feathers and became THE CHIEF! He was very proud.
Our Thanksgiving break started and these boys get bored FAST if there's not something for them to do. We sat down one afternoon to do a little Thanksgiving crafting. I feel like I used to do all this fun holiday crafting a lot more. I'm slacking now as life gets busier.
The day before Thanksgiving, my parents ended up passing through Houston because my dad had some interviewing to do here. It worked out nicely since they were going to Dallas with my sisters for Thanksgiving and we were heading to Baton Rouge. We were grateful they took time to eat an early Mexican dinner with us before heading the rest of the way to Dallas. Shortly after they left, we finished packing up our car to head to Baton Rouge to spend Thanksgiving with Kent's family.
I can honestly forget about taking pictures sometimes and got ONE picture on Thanksgiving Day of my three boys. Boston wore that sweater all of 20 minutes. They weren't thrilled that I brought them sweaters to wear for the occasion. My boys are finally starting to have voices on their clothing desires and its driving me NUTS!
We had a wonderful Thanksgiving feast with Kent's mom and siblings. Kent offered to fry a turkey in my dad's infrared fryer for the occasion. Something went wrong and it took FOREVER before the turkey was finished....so we ate Thanksgiving with no turkey. Thankfully, Carol had prepared a ham as well. I love a good Thanksgiving dinner. I look forward to it every year. The boys enjoyed time with all their Hooper cousins that they hardly took too much time to even eat.
Who wants to skip Thanksgiving dinner?? Not me.
I'm thankfully for SO many things but I'm MOST thankful for my little family. This year we really tried to focus on things that we don't realize we have that we should be grateful for. One that kept coming up over and over in Boston's prayers this year was "heat". We've had some unusually cold days so far this year so I'm assuming that's what brought that one on.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
