thanksgiving

happy thanksgiving from us! and caleb AKA ‘quiet fox’. 🙂 that is the name he gave himself at preschool today. heehee. he is far from quiet, but oh well.

cam had a thanksgiving feast and performance yesterday. here is one of the poem’s he recited:

"if i were a pilgrim child"

if i were a pilgrim child dressed in white or gray, i should catch my turkey wild for thanksgiving day.
i should pick my cranberries fresh from out a bog, work all day to help our parents then make a table of a log.
Massasoit would be my guest and wear a crimson feather, and we should clasp our hands and say Thansgiving grace together.
But i was born in modern times and shall not have this joy. My cranberries will be delivered by the grocery boy.
My turkey will be served upon a shiny silver platter, it will not taste as wild game tastes, though it will be much fatter.
And, oh, of all the guests that come to sit and feast and pray, we shall try to remember and honor the true reasons for this day.
