The story of Thanksgiving, reenacted.

With the day of Thanksgiving upon us, it's important to remember why we celebrate such a delicious holiday.

My People, the following is the story of Thanksgiving.  Brought to you by my little brother Rigsby, and me, Bojie (the great).  

*editors note, I am so proud of the boys, I totally gave them artistic freedom to tell their story with no script and their improv was amazing, also, I made these costumes so I deserve props too*

*AHEM*  One day Chief Bojie stumbled upon a very lethargic Pilgrim named Rigsby.  Bojie said, "HAU! I come in peace.  Why are you so weak my little Pilgrim?" 
Pilgrim Rigsby explained, "We have no seeds, and no crops to eat, we're starving!" Chief Bojie said, "No fear little Pilgrim, I will share my seeds and my knowledge with you, and help you cultivate your crops".  This was a very serious discussion.  Very. Serious. . .

 Along with the crops they planted, the Pilgrim and the Chiefs friendship bloomed...
And now little pilgrim, it is important to thank the earth for all of our blessings.  Let us pray.
Oh, Chief! I must invite you to eat with me after all you've taught me and how much you've helped my family...Please join me as we break kibble.
And the chief did.  Theirs is a friendship that has carried the meaning of Thanksgiving in our hearts forever. 

"Give thanks for unknown blessings already on their way."

Native American saying


Happy Thanksgiving to all of our friends throughout the world! We are thankful for your friendship and love!


 Uh, um, you see,  this improv stuff is exhausting...Got Turkey? No, I mean it. Can you spare a leg or something?
