Jillian's Thanksgiving Play.

So Jillian had her FIRST Thanksgiving play. Well it wasn't a "play" exactly...It was very cute. They had groups of kids dressed as Boy Pilgrims, Girl Pilgrims, Boy Indians, Girl Indians, Turkeys & one kid was a Preacher. The teacher read the story of Thanksgiving, and everytime she mentioned a "group" they had a line they had to say. (For example the "girl indians" --which was Jillian's group-- said "shhhhh *pretending to cradle a baby* baby sleeping".. the Turkey's gobbled, and the Preacher shouted (literally) PRAISE THE LORD! was very cute!
They did a song with sign language, and then we got to hear the 12 days of Thanksgiving. Cute song but most all of the kindergarteners were prety bored by the 5th day of Thanksgiving my true love gave to me.... FIVE SCOOPS OF BEANS!..... ANYway...

Here's some pictures...
