A couple of weeks ago Evan and Alli had a Thanksgiving program at school. At our school, all the grade-level programs are incorporated into the PTO meetings to try to get more involvement. I have to go to all of them since I work there, and, I'm not sure what the deal is with the parents at our school, but the 5th grade turn out 
was pitiful. Well, the kindergarten crowd was the complete opposite. The gym was busting at the seams, and the camera flashes and video cameras were out of control. I was standing in the middle of the gym taking video, thinking I was probably infuriating everyone by standing, but not knowing what else to do because I couldn't get a good shot. Then I turned around and everyone else was doing the same. At the end of the program they had the kids stand there for a few minutes so parents could come up and take pictures, and it was like the
most insane paparazzi you've ever seen. It sure was fun, though, and it made me happy because I wasn't at all embarrassed about being that crazy camera happy mom, since everyone else was just as crazy. Evan was an Indian boy, which I was surprised was still an acceptable title what with the P.C. world we live in now. Of course, it is Lula. Alli was a turkey, and she was her typical self. In one of the videos, it's hard to see her because the girl in front of her was blocking her, but it shows the little battle she had with her beak. You can hear Drew and Andy laughing in the background. By the end of the whole thing, she was wearing her beak on top of her head. You may have to look to pick them out of the crowd, but here are some pictures and videos. For the first part of the program, and the reason for the costumes, a teacher read a story about the first thanksgiving and each time she said "Indian Boy," or "Turkey," or "Pilgrim," etc., the kids had a line. The Indian boys said "Big and Brave," and the turkeys said, "Gobble, Gobble."
