Thursday was Benjamin's first-ever Thanksgiving Feast and Program. Ben goes to our Mother's Day Out on Tuesday and Thursday, but since he is such a good napper, we pick him up at noon and he naps at home. This will likely change when the new baby arrives, which is fine with us. He LOVES his teacher.
Her name is Mrs. Chris. Think New York. More specifically, think Coffee Talk on Saturday Night Live. She is classic. Her accent is hilarious. And she definitely has the personality to go with it.
Earlier this week, they made place mats for their Thanksgiving Feast. Mrs. Chris explained to them what it meant to be thankful for...how we are thankful for our mommies and daddies, our brothers, pets, etc. When she asked Ben what he was thankful for, he thought a minute and then exclaimed, "YOU, Mrs. Chris. Thankful for YOU!"
Apparently she burst into tears over the sweetness of the moment. When his other teacher, Mrs. Nicole entered the room, she found Mrs. Chris crying over Ben. Funny...we cry over Ben almost every hour! Just not always for his being so precious.

These are a few of Ben's classmates. Cohen dead center...Jenna in the Pink Bow. He loves them. They're also in his Sunday School class. I love that our new church has more kids his age.
Notice who is nowhere to be seen...
During lunch, he wandered out of the room and found these friends.
Love that they sort of match the scarecrows on his shirt.

We are so excited about Thanksgiving. We will be seeing pretty much all of our family over the next week. I am trying to diet (surprise, surprise) up until the holiday so that maybe I'm ahead of the game in the weight department. Still...I'm really looking forward to eating.
We saw on the weather this morning that the high for Thanksgiving Day is 45 degrees!
