Thanksgiving Feast and Lunch Box Day!

Em's school planned a Thanksgiving Feast on Thursday, and the kitchen was closed to prepare for it, so they asked the kids to pack lunches.  I've never seen someone so excited to have a lunch box! 

We have to pack peanut free because of allergies, and I knew Em wouldn't eat a sandwich or a normal lunch, so I loaded her up with finger foods--apple sauce, pepperoni, cheese, grapes, strawberries, broccoli, crackers and yogurt.  I ended up taking the raisins and oranges out because it seemed like too much, but her teachers told me she ate almost everything.  They had a class picnic on the "rainbow carpet" and I'm sure it was great fun :).



The parents were invited to the Thanksgiving Feast from 4-6pm that afternoon, so Mick and I both went. Emily was so excited to have us there that she barely ate anything!

Tough to pass up mac & cheese, sweet potatoes and bread though.

Then she needed to show us all the dress up clothes before we could go home--Snow White,

and Cinderella.  Especially beautiful with the polka dot shirt under the dress!

This is the Thanksgiving art her class made--hers turkey is the one on orange paper on the far right.

She's always so proud to show us her artwork!
