Even thought Thanksgiving is not until Thursday, we have already celebrated the holiday a few times!! The first celebration was with our youth group! We did an evening of turkey bowling!! The second celebration was at Shane's preschool. The entire school shared a Thanksgiving feast together after chapel last Thursday morning!
As part of the chapel, students were able to bring forward shoe boxes their family's packed for Operation Christmas Child. Since we did that, Shane was able to bring our box to the front! He was very excited!
After the kids finished eating, which was actually pretty quickly!, they had some time to just run around and play! It was fun to see Shane at school with his friends.
Our final pre-Thanksgiving celebration was with my family today as they were all out to celebrate Olivia's first birthday! More on that in another post! It was a real treat to have a Thanksgiving meal with them - we haven't all been together on Thanksgiving Day since I moved out to California 11 years ago! And it was so nice that my brother and sister were here too. We made all the traditional foods; it was as fun to put the meal together as it was to eat it! As always I'm always thankful for family and the time we spend together!
