PreK Thanksgiving Feast

Just before Thanksgiving break, Cody and Jaden's early childhood held a Thanksgiving feast. Jaden and Cody's special visitors were Mommy, Daddy, and Grammy (Papa was attending cousin Ryan's Thanksgiving parade at his school on the same day!). The event started with a chapel service held in the gym. Parents and guests could sit with their children on the gym floor. It wasn't the most comfortable arrangement, but it was fun to be able to sit with the boys. Cody and Jaden wore their special school chapel shirts that day.

As part of the service, the boys' music teacher led the kids in a few songs. Some of the songs had actions and others involved rhythm sticks. Jaden and Cody particularly liked hitting the sticks together slowly and then very, very quickly in this song. Both boys were extremely focused about following their teacher's directions.

Jason actually led the early childhood chapel message that morning. He did a wonderful job teaching the group about God's law and gospel. Jaden and Cody's music teacher, Ms. Fisher, is the other adult pictured.

After chapel, we waited in line for our Thanksgiving feast food (turkey and dressing with all the fixings for the adults; chicken nuggets for the kiddos). Then we found our way to the table that was decorated with Cody and Jaden's hand-made turkey placemats. I thought these turned out pretty cute! The boys have wanted to use their placemats at nearly every meal since.

We loved spending time with Jaden and Cody in the middle of a school day and getting a peek into their day. It was a treat that Grammy could join us too!
