Thanksgiving Day at School

Today we headed to school for a PowWow.  To be honest I'm quite surprised this sort of thing is still happening.  It wasn't a "real" powwow, just what the program was being called.  The kids made indian costumes (they did look cute) and sang indian/pilgrim songs.  The most shocking song they sang was "10 Little Indians."  Maybe I'm just super sensitive but it seems a little inappropriate.  After they performed we had a traditional Thanksgiving meal.  I spent the entire time chasing Liam and trying to keep the twins content with cookies-they didn't want to eat anything else.  By the time we left I was totally done and totally exhausted!  Dad, thank goodness you're coming home tomorrow!  I need my side kick back!
Liam didn't want to be left out of anything!
Callie picked "Sunshine" as her Indian name.
Anderson chose "Bear Paws."
Not to be left out, he needed a single shot too!
Melts my heart!
Could they get any sweeter?
3 yr old and 4 yr old classes-the 5 on the left are the 3 yr olds.
Liam kept himself busy in the classroom but once we went to the big room for the performance...well that was another story.
The classroom teepee
