Happy Thursday- Don't worry I am still alive-

Gobble! Gobble! 


How horrible is it for me to do all these boring posts-- and then just stop for a week. So sorry! What a sweet treat it has been to get messages from you all looking for new posts!

So Thanksgiving is one week away. This will officially kick off what my Uncle Scott (Skunk) calls "eating season"! Oh how I love Thanksgiving- it is my FAVORITE holiday of all! However I do hope this year will be kind to my new size waist in my old size pants! This is my first Thanksgiving since 2008 that I haven't given birth during the same week. I know- that is a hoot. I so look forward to just enjoying all of these sweet little blessings- without all of those bad postpartum feelings.

In preparation for the big day- Let's share recipes. I am looking for a new recipe for sweet potato casserole. I love it- but I haven't found the perfect recipe! I look forward to hopefully seeing some yummy recipes.

Don't you just love all of the wonderful things our children do at school during Thanksgiving! This year Kami decorated a feather that belongs to the class turkey. Each child did one and then her teacher put them all up behind the turkey. Kitty's class did my favorite Thanksgiving project yet. Her awesome teachers sent home the outline of a turkey. The project was to help him come up with a disguise to keep him safe through the holiday. Kitty disguised her turkey as a Rock Springs Cheerleader. It was adorable!
She is so creative!

Tomorrow we will start a new tradition at our house! We are going to put the Christmas Tree up- but decorate it for Thanksgiving! We are going to call it our, "Tree of Blessings". I am going to cut leaves out of construction paper and have the girls write a different blessing on each one. I'll post pics to show how it turned out!

I am including pics of my latest project- Don't forget those recipes!!!
