This was a huge project us mommas got ourselves into, but it turned out way better than we imagined. We spent weeks learning lines, music, and motions. And the kids, too - ha ha.
One of the local churches graciously let us use one of their facilities to host this musical extravaganza. We invited all the kids' families to come watch. I think the grandmas and grandpas truly enjoyed seeing their babies sing their hearts out.
Our musical had 5 songs that we learned with lines in between each one. Each child got to have a few spoken lines. We had "grumpy" characters and thankful ones to teach them the meaning of Thanksgiving. That's me on the ivories accompanying them.
We had a guest co op join us for our musical, too. This pretend preschool group performed one song all by themselves and then they joined us again for the last one. They were all SOOOOO cute!! They are all about the same age as Ben, so he helped them out.
Each family brought a few dishes and after our musical, we had a delicious pot luck lunch.
We decorated the tables with Mayflowers, pine cone turkeys, some crayons, and coloring sheets.
I know what this guy was thankful for!!
All of you are awesome!
