Hospitality by Anna

Anna REALLY loves her kindergarten teacher.  And that's a good thing.  Anna told her teacher about our upcoming Thanksgiving menu and came away from the conversation with the impression that her teacher would be coming over to our house for Thanksgiving.  From what I could piece together, I think the conversation went something like this:

Anna:  We're having cheesecake with berries for Thanksgiving!
Ms. Taylor:  I love cheesecake!
Anna:  You can come over to our house for Thanksgiving if you want.
Ms. Taylor:  It sounds like it will be fun at your house.

Anna thought it was a done deal and made a nice card for Ms. Taylor.  Here is her card, with translations:
"Happy Thanksgiving Ms. Taylor"
I love her picture of the two of them together.  Ms. Taylor, in real life, reminds me a little of Tina Fey (maybe with a little Rose Byrne thrown in).  And I always like Anna's pictures of her.

 "I hope you love the chicken" (She might have meant turkey?)
"I hope you love the cheesecake with blueberries"

"Take your family if you want but we will not have enough seats.  XOXOXO"
I couldn't help thinking her "famlee" might feel a little less than welcome by this card, but I still thought it was a nice card all in all.  I told Anna that Ms. Taylor and family were certainly welcome to come, but that I didn't think Ms. Taylor would really be coming over on Thanksgiving.   Anna was disappointed and then I felt bad about the whole thing.  We are having dinner guests that night though, so maybe she can focus on them.  Thanksgiving is going to be here soon!
