Thanksgiving

This year Thanksgiving was a little abnormal and sad for me.  My dad was only 1 week? post-op from back surgery so my parents weren't there.  Several other family members were celebrating at their in-laws so it was slim pickens at our Thanksgiving.  Even the boys were bummed that there were no other kids there.  Oh...and Mondo wasn't there either.  He just happened to have Cowboys tickets so he took a customer to the game.  Poor thing.  It was still nice to have a small gathering to celebrate the bird and eat yummy food, but I was a little ready to be done with it because it just made me miss my parents.

This was me trying to get a picture of Caleb.

Ethan and his cousin John.  Don't let Ethan's mad face fool you.  He chatted up John the whole time.  He just figured out they were cousins a few months ago.  ;-)  Where has he been?!

Both of my boy's plates looked like this.  Mac & Cheese and fruit salad.  Maybe they'll take part in the feast next year.

They boys found a stash of toys to play with so they were content for a while.

Love those forced smiles.

Moving on to the kid's Thanksgiving Feasts at school....



Ethan's friend Brock.  They both chose chicken nuggets for their feast.  Wise choice.



Outside his classroom.

Unfortunantly Mondo had to work so I soaked up all the alone time with Ethan.  :-)

Caleb's Thanksgiving Feast was more of a mini performance.  The kids lined up and sang a few songs.  Then we followed them into their room to watch them eat their feast.

I just love preschool feasts:  popcorn, pretzels, grapes, raisins, apples, and lunch meat.  At least Caleb ate most of those items...minus the meat of course.

The boys were so cute and didn't want to leave.  They were holding hands and bouncing around in a circle and laughing hysterically.  I'm glad Caleb has some of his own friends now. :-)
