The Day Before Thanksgiving

Yes, new excitement and some time have found their way in my life again....and just in time for the holidays too! With Thanksgiving a day away and so many things yet to be done. Isabelle is on Thanksgiving Break until next week, and we have some fun adventures ahead of us over the next five days.

Today, we are going to make Turkey Cookies for tomorrow as a special surprise. Found this cute "craft/recipe" on NickJr of all places. Looks like a super fun project for the two of us. Of course, I've made some adjustments to the recipe...such as making my own cookie dough :)

Then, the day after we will be making gingerbread cookies. Lots of gingerbread cookies. With a young cat in the house who *loves* to get into everything, my beautiful glass ornaments (collected over years and many are one of a kind) are safely tucked away until Natasha is old enough. So, we decorate the tree with great gingerbread cookies (angels, reindeer and santas). The house smells great for the entire Christmas season, and if a cookie breaks, so be it. Everyone is happy all around!

This morning, we are heading to a couple of stores to get some foil wrapping paper to complete the decorating of the three-season porch. Pictures will be posted of the completed project.

Oh yes, and a couple of apple pies are on the agenda today....what is Thanksgiving without apple pie?!

Enjoy your busy day too!
