thanksgiving @ ccdc...

was a BIG deal this year. now that olivia is in her last year of preschool, it seems that holiday celebrations are "stepped up a notch." each year her class has done the traditional feast, but this year there was a little role play before the feast began and the parents were invited. of course we didn't miss the opportunity to see olivia or the photo op.

it was very simple, yet adorable. her class was divided into two groups- the pilgrims and the indians. (i know that is not "PC" but that is what they learned.) they had hats to help them get into character. first olivia was a pilgrim...

i think there was one confused little indian. :)

they acted out getting on the boat so they could go to the new world so they could worship god they way they wanted. while on the boat they got sea-sick (so funny!!) and were very happy when they arrived in the new world. then they met the indians who taught them about the land and how to plant and hunt. and of course they became friends!!

to be fair, they acted it out a second time so that everyone had the opportunity to be both a pilgrim and an indian. it was very cute and i love that olivia actually knows the history of thanksgiving.

oh, and jack made a very darling little native american hat too!! he doesn't have a clue why or what thanksgiving is, but he got to pick his feathers out and was very excited that they were baylor colors. :)

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!
