Wee Place Feast!

Today was Kendall's Thanksgiving feast at school! She has actually been referring to it as the "Thanksgiving festival" - what can I say? The girl loves a good festival!

Randy, Cooper and I all went up to the school to be with her and when we got there we were shocked that she had let them paint her face like an Indian! Back up - she has been telling us that they were going to be Little Indians for the feast. And that they painted a tv and marched around it. Randy figured out that she was talking about a tee-pee! She still is determined to call it a tv though. Anyway, she had told us they were going to be Little Indians and that she made a feather hat with pink feathers. She has never wanted her face to be painted though, so we were pretty shocked that she let her teacher do that. She was pretty cute!

Standing next to the tv. She showed us the part she painted. And then wanted to do a funny pose.

Emma! We hear so much about Emma and the last thing we heard was that on Tuesday they had to move their clips from green to yellow because they were playing ring-around-the-rosie and having too much fun. Troublemakers.

Her whole class looked so cute!

I love this little turkey!

Before we went to eat, all the classes sat in front of the ark and sang a song and said their prayer. We watched Kendall go from being so excited, out-going, and silly in her class to being very quiet, shy, and still with all these other kids and an audience of parents around. She did a great job of participating, but we could just tell she was nervous and a little overwhelmed. We love watching the little personality that God gave her and our hope is that we are sensitive to that as she grows and learns!

And....back to silly! :) The feast was Chick-fil-A nuggets, fruit, vegetables, and cheetos and of course, all she wanted was the cheetos. She also keeps talking about wanting to eat pie. As we have been talking about Thanksgiving, we always list pies as one of the foods you eat. This girl is ready for some Thanksgiving pie next Thursday!

Love!

And here are a couple of videos of the little performance. The first is of the song they all sang...

...and this is the prayer they prayed. Kendall came home on Tuesday telling us that they said a different prayer. When we heard this today we understood what she was saying - in her class everyday before they eat, they say a different prayer than this. I think this is one they just taught all the classes especially for today.

The one she usually says is so cute - we need to get it on video. She says, "God is great, God is good, let us thank him for our food. Bow our heads, we are freds, thank you God for day-ree bread."
