The Great Pretzel Bake

Our family friends have a cool family event, where they make soft pretzels. They make their own dough, roll the dough, twist into pretzels and bake in an old oven on wheels. It was a big group this year, and of course you have to help roll pretzel, and they are soooo good. Brooke & Zack rolling dough. Pretzels are placed on a board and taken to another room to raise. Then baked in the oven on wheels in the backyard. I don't have a pictures of any finished pretzels because we ate them all.

Emma's Art

Pictures from the Parent Volunteer Group, the kids glued tissue paper to candle holders, and painted leafs to make a place mat.

Pilgrim & One Wild Indian

The religious day of thanksgiving and the harvest festival evolved into a single event: a yearly Thanksgiving, proclaimed by individual governors for a Thursday in November. The custom of an annual Thanksgiving celebrating abundance and family spread across America. Some presidents proclaimed Thanksgivings, others did not. Abraham Lincoln began the tradition of an annual national Thanksgiving in 1863. Thanksgiving is an enduring symbol from which millions of immigrants have learned "Americanism." While not all Native Peoples celebrate the day, the story of the Pilgrims and Wampanoag sharing a harvest celebration remains an inspiration to many.

Letter to Santa

Beginning on November 9, children across the country are invited to drop off their letters – stamped and addressed to Santa At The North Pole – at any Macy’s store in the Santa Mail letterbox. For each letter received, Macy’s will donate $1 to the Make-A-Wish Foundation up to $1 million to grant the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions. You can make a Claus (like the elfs last year) http://www.macysbelieve.com/
