Veteran's Day and Where's the Turkey?

This morning, I felt so honored to be able to witness such a beautiful ceremony that Madison's Elementary School had for our veterans. Madison's class and one other class was chosen to be the "choir" for the program. The students also turned in the names of their family members who were veterans that would be able to attend, and then the superintendent called each veteran up, to be escorted by their student, and they told what branch they served in and gave them a boutonniere. It was such a beautiful moment to witness! The love radiating from Dads/Grandpas as they were escorted by their children and the pride you could see that each child had for them had me choking back the tears. I even saw some Grandpas doing the same. It was just awesome!

Here's Madison smiling before the ceremony started, when she realized I had arrived. There were alot of people there.
Here's how far away I had to sit. :)

Here's a picture of Madison's friend Audrey (in red), escorting her Uncle Andrew (in grey). What I loved about this picture was the smiles on all the teachers faces. Our district has some of the most amazing teachers.

Here's a (way too close-up) picture of me and my sweet girl :) The songs they sang were so beautiful and they sounded great. I wish I knew how to put the video on here from my video camera :( My favorite: "God Bless the USA"!

Lily went with me too, and she was so good. I was really proud of her, because it lasted an hour and a half and she did really good sitting in her chair for that long.

I just thought y'all might find this funny......Can you see the turkey? I'll give you a minute to try and find it. LOL!

Kaylee had to decorate her turkey in a disguise for a school project and she wanted to do hers as a cheerleader. So funny!

I can't wait until Thanksgiving! Yummy :P
