Noah's Thanksgiving Lunch

Today Noah had a Thanksgiving Lunch at school and all the parents were invited to come eat with them. Before eating, his class lined up to sing some Thanksgiving songs. He looked so cute in his little pilgrim hat. He has really learned this year what Thanksgiving is all about. He said they read a book at school that told about the people coming to the new country on the Mayflower and how they made friends with the Indians and had the first Thanksgiving. I was impressed with his first real grasp on history!
All the kids had made some Thanksgiving artwork that we brought home with us today. One was a leaf that he had colored and told about how he would cook a turkey. Noah's said "by cutting all its body off, putting it in the oven to cook, and then eating it." I don't know whether to be disturbed or amused at his graphic description! I guess since he's only 5, we'll just laugh about it!
