Thanksgiving Feast

 We had been preparing for our Thanksgiving feast.

The turkey went on at 7:20 a.m.

We had our Friday groups...with the cooking group finishing the dishes for our feast...we had extra mom-help, too...

 As we were waiting the feast to begin...those not in the cooking group helped set and decorate the tables.  They also colored some turkeys to be used as placemats.

 

Mr. S was busy carving our turkey.  He's an expert.  He told me his family cooks a turkey about once a month!

 Jayden and Sawyer were guarding the kitchen. 

 Debbie is THE queen!  She let us invade her kitchen...thank you, thank you, thank you, Debbie!

 Rachel and Sonja were a bit warm in the kitchen...but what troopers they were/are!  We couldn't have done this without them...no way!

 

Everything was ready to come out of the oven...

 Our waitresses:  Sabrina and Isabella with Cameron hiding in the back...were bringing all the food to

 room 5.

 Here comes some of our waiters!  Jason, Sawyer, and Jayden..

 The cooking group wanted to also serve the food.  I was so, so proud of them...for everything!

 Let the feast begin! We went around the room for each Room 5er to say something they were thankful for.  Family was #1!

I wish I had taken a good picture of the room.  We had tablecloths, candles, and decorations on the tables.  There was some classical background music...it was so sweet!

 We were fortunate to have Michelle join our feast, and of course, Mr. C!

 I know Rachel and Sonja must have gone home exhausted...

 Mr. S, our principal, came back and joined us for awhile!

 Trenton definitely dressed for the occasion!  It was a special day for a special group of 4th and 5th graders!

Karli was telling Zoe how incredibly good everything tasted...and that she had 7...SEVEN...pieces of pie different foods to eat!

I hope all our families are enjoying a wonderful Thanksgiving!
