A Turkey Day Celebration

Harrison's class had a Thanksgiving party at school last week so Davis and I got to join Harrison in his classroom for a little while.  Harrison (and Davis) were just getting over the stomach virus so I was nervous that he might not be able to go to school today.  He woke up this morning saying that his stomach still hurt. I couldn't tell if he really meant it or if he just wanted to stay home.  It always seems that when he misses a day or two of school, he starts to not want to go to school, but would rather stay home with me.  I convinced him that he needed to go to school to say happy birthday to his friend Nathan, so off he went.  When we arrived to the classroom, the kids were still at their music class.  When the kids filed into the classroom, Harrison got the biggest smile when he saw me standing there, which just made my heart melt.  The teacher then had the kids sing a few songs for us...super cute!

They had a "feast" on their placemats that they made and they all wore their t-shirts that we got to help make.  I think Chief Harrison was having a good time.  I do have to tell a funny story.  Every night at dinner when we bless the food, Harrison is very adamant that we say the "God our Father" prayer.  If you try to do a different blessing, or if you mix up the words to be silly, he gets very upset.  When Mrs. Sandy got ready to say the blessing that day, she specifically pointed out that much to Harrison's dismay we would not be saying the "God our Father" prayer. She said that Harrison wants to say it everyday at school so she had to make it "God our Father" Thursday's so that they can say other prayers on Monday's and Tuesday's.  Hilarious.

Chief Harrison and Chief Nathan - they have been in the same class 2 years in a row and have become little buddies.  We saw Nathan at the grocery store last week and you would have thought it was a movie star with how excited he got!

I had to get a picture of Harrison with his teachers.  They do a tremendous job and Harrison loves them so much.
