Thanksgiving Feast

Today was Casen's Thanksgiving feast at school and fortunately Shane was able to attend. We worked over the past weekend on making his vest to wear to the feast. Our instructions were to use symbols to describe Casen and decorate it as the Indians may have done. So after a bit of research, we chose the symbols that mean happiness (the big symbol in the middle), mountains (upper left), friendship (upper right), good (bottom left) dancer (bottom right). : )  He then chose where he wanted his feathers and beads. We gave him the Indian name 'Takoda' which means a friend to everyone - pretty much describes him perfectly!
