Early Thanksgiving Dinner with Maggie


Today, Maggie's 3rd grade class prepared a Thanksgiving lunch for family and friends. Jeff, Jake and I were able to attend and her class did all the preparation work and served all the parents. We had a great meal that consisted of salad, homemade ranch dressing, cranberry salad, real mashed potatoes, stuffing, green beans, rolls and turkey. Plus, pumpkin pie and individual cheesecakes for dessert. Each child made placemats for their parents and wrote on them what they are thankful for. Jeff's said, "Thank you for making money" and mine said, "Thank you for making food all throughout the year." She wants me to be sure to say that the reason she is thankful that Jeff makes money is because it pays for our food and the important stuff. ;) Each child also had to say one thing they were thankful for in front of all the parents and Maggie said she is thankful for everyone who takes care of her. And of course, we are very thankful for Maggie!!

What a good idea. Calebs class didn't do anything, but Ryans class made fruit salad (yummi yummi) and Vegetable soup. BTW..I'm thankful for the Woolfpack!

Maggie is growing up! I think I'm thankful for Jim making money too. How could we eat out without it.
