The school has a "Parent Appreciation Day" where parents are invited to have lunch with their kids and the school serves "traditional" Thanksgiving fare. Since my children rarely buy lunch, they get very excited about this day and I let them all buy lunch. This year I was only able to get to sit down and have lunch with Callie.
She was pleased I came to join her, but also a little shy and embarrassed.
This was what we had: Peas, candied yams, roll, stuffing, turkey with cranberry, and an oddly flavored peach pie. It was.... well, it was cafeteria food, but the turkey was quite good.
After lunch, I walked to Callie's class with her.
She showed me her desk and we had time to chat for a bit.
She hates getting her picture taken, but she humored me. It was a nice time with my girl.

Joshua's grade had a Thanksgiving Feast thing. They asked all the parents to contribute something and I made 2 pies. There was so much food that there was a ton of leftovers. There was a veggie tray, a cracker tray, 2 turkeys, a ham, fried chicken, macaroni and cheese, mashed potatoes, sandwiches, rolls, and gobs and gobs of desserts. It fed all 4 classes plus parents, teachers, and then some. Rylee came with me and she sat in a corner eating while I handed out rolls and finger sandwiches to the line of kids. After serving, I got to go hang with Joshua in his classroom. It was kind of fun!
Rylee enjoyed the frosting off her cupcake!
I snuck a picture of my boy.
All the girls were impressed with Rylee and really wanted to play with her. Joshua enjoyed having something that gave him status and he took fun advantage of it. They both had a marvelous time.
