Preschool Thanksgiving Feast

Our church hosted a Thanksgiving Feast this past Saturday for the preschool department. This includes infants-5 year olds. This was the first year we have done something like this. The past 2 0r 3 years they have had a fall event but its always been in October and more of a pumpkin party/festival type thing. We decided against that this year b/c October was such a full month at our church with Revival and Trunk or Treat. Since my mom and I are over the nursery we were the ones to coordinate this event.

We had planned craft activities for the kids to do then they would get to go into the Fellowship hall and enjoy a meal with their parents. We only had 5 children show up which was kind of a disappointment but I know fall is so busy with families that its hard to pick a date where everyone is free. The children we had though I think had fun. We had one baby Tabitha (8 months old), her older sister Veronica (3 years old), Zoe (1 1/2 years old), and Jonathan who is (1 year old). I was glad Colby atleast had Veronica. But it didn't seem to bother him that he was the oldest. He was excited to go to church. Poor thing though always thinks when we go to church that its going to be time for him to play in the nursery. He kinda thinks he owns the church nursery. Since I have always worked up there during the week and on Sundays and Wednesdays he thinks he can play in any room. Once we started doing the crafts though he really got into it! I was impressed at how well he did with them. I guess b/c he is used to that type of thing at school. He could do most of them all by himself! I think he enjoyed them more then any of the other children. After the craft time we went to the fellowship hall to eat. Colby was very excited about the food...I think it was more the dessert table though. But he did eat a good lunch then sampled about 3 desserts! Its so funny how he goes crazy with sweets when we are at something like that...I guess since he doesn't usually get that at home its like a HUGE deal! I enjoyed visiting with Laura and Rachel who were at the table with me. Colby played with the kids after he ate. I felt bad that I didn't stay and clean up but Colby was getting antsy plus I think everyone understood I am 9 months preggo!
