Daycare Thanksgiving Party 2011

From the eyes of a four year old...

Katie: Dean, Thanksgiving is coming. Do you know what we celebrate at Thanksgiving?

Dean: Yes. The angels came to America.

Katie: You mean the pilgrims?

Dean: Yeah, the pilgrims and the angels.

Katie: What did they do?

Dean: They had a big dinner.

Katie: What did they eat?

Dean: They ate deer...but deer is an animal. It's not food. They were silly .

Katie: They were thankful for the new place to live and their families and friends. What are you thankful for?

Dean: I'm thankful for Mommy, Daddy, Phoebe, my friends and construction vehicles.

Thursday was Dean's Daycare Thanksgiving Party.  The first picture above was part of the invitation that went home to the parents.  The second one above was hanging outside the classroom for all the parents to see as they walked up.  Here's a closeup of Dean's hand:

My personal favorite is "I'm thankful for princesses" from Dean's bestie, E.  Hilarious!

Here is a copy of his placemat he made for the Thankful Lunch.  The poem says:

 

"I think of sunshine clear and bright
I think of stars, twinkling at night

I think of friends, family and more-

I have so much to be thankful for!

I'm especially thankful for Mommy and Daddy."

Does this kid know Christmas is around the corner or what?  He's buttering up his parents so they'll put in a good word to Santa.  It's working...he's on the nice list for now!!

Dean and his Mommy had a blast at the special school party.  We hope you have a nice Thanksgiving and take the time to remember all you have to be thankful for!
