Thanksgiving Performance

November 26th

Ronan's preschool put on a little Thanksgiving play for all of the parents (families), and his class got to dressed up like Indians. He was a little bit timid at first, but once he saw us in the audience he relaxed and ended up being pretty goofy. They sang some silly songs about turkeys and recited Thanksgiving poems. It was really sweet and we were so proud of Ronan! He had quite a group there to support him: me, Josh, Griffin, Memaw & Papa, Uncle Erik, Sadie, Cohen, Grammie & Grandpa, Great Grammie, and Great Aunt Diane! It was the day before Thanksgiving, so that's why we had extra family members in town. It also happened to be Griffin's 2nd Birthday! We celebrated later that evening with just our family and then a few days later with the rest of the fam.
Here he is looking a little shy at the beginning.

There's his smile. (:

(such a family resemblance!)

We all got to go into Ronan's classroom to enjoy some cider and pumpkin bars that he helped make. Ronan was so excited to introduce everyone to his teacher.

Earlier in the week when the class was working on this art project Ronan was asked what he was thankful for, and he replied, "My new house, my family, and my Papa". (: Very sweet!

Showing off more of his artwork.

Couldn't resist a quick picture with our little "Indian". As this picture was being taken Josh was joking around with Miss Julie for not using the term Native American when teaching the kids. It doesn't fit as well in the songs I guess. (:

On the way home our little Birthday Boy fell asleep while trying to take his shoe off. He was already wiped out and his birthday was just beginning!

In my next post I'll write about the rest of Griffin's b-day, but I thought this was a cute picture from this same day. Erik came over to hang out for a bit and see our house. He was in town visiting from Seattle and hadn't been to Eugene since springtime. He and Ronan were just chillin' at the bar having their own little conversation. (:
