Kim and I joined dozens of other parents in her kindergarten class to watch the First Thanksgiving production. It was very cute and every child was just precious. Here is Madison with many of her friends, some of whom are still in costume.
A Thanksgiving "feast" followed the production and we enjoyed turkey and mashed potatoes with other parents in the classroom. Maddie loved having us there, and little Morgan too. Kim went back to school and I raced to the airport with Morgan to pick up Nanny, who hasn't seen Morgan since she was 3 weeks old! Talk about exciting! Nanny had a fit over the baby and Morgan just beamed. We took Nanny to lunch and then back to the kindergarten class for the first of two birthday celebrations. There was even a child in Maddie's class with the same birthday! So there was double the celebration! Here are the two birthday girls.
Thursday was a lot of fun, but not nearly as much fun as Saturday's birthday extravaganza on the cul-du-sac! The moonwalk arrived early Saturday morning, much to the children's delight and gave me a chance to "test" it without too much embarrassment. I figured if 10 40 lb children could get in there and I am a mere fraction of that weight, certainly I could jump. So I did. It was fun, despite having to crawl through an opening only slightly larger than the birth canal! Fortunately, there are no pictures of this so let that dream go. Here are some pictures of Maddie with her Mt. Sinai pre-school buddies.
It was a great day and here are random pictures of her new friends, our friends, and the neighbors.
We had hoped to win $100,000 on America's Funniest Videos with a pinata, but it went beautifully. I hope to have video soon to share with you. The kids had a blast and we are forever thankful to Aunt Becky Bumpass who was able to hang the pinata from a tree. Plan B was to have someone far thinner than me to hold it for the kids to hit. Not!
Our friend, Leigh, brought her daughter, age 2, to the party. Madison loves Lija because she is small enough to be a doll, but not too small to seriously injur. McKenzie and Lija had so much fun at the party and I plan to get them together more often.
It isn't very often that anyone takes my picture, since I am usually the one with the camera. However, Misty took control of the camera when presents were being opened so I could visit with some parents I haven't seen in a long time. She caught this sweet moment with McKenzie and I am truly thankful to have these images. I love my children more than words could ever express and I think you can see it here.
