An Early Thanksgiving

Yesterday we had a wonderful early Thanksgiving.  Kelly and Dave are working on Thanksgiving day and Thomas will be with his Dad so we decided to "pretend" that it was Thanksgiving.  We had a great family day.  Thomas and I made hot chocolate in the morning and as Thomas would say it was "fantastic".  We then met Kelly, Dave and Noelle at my Dad's house for a day of Thanksgiving activities.

Thomas, Noelle and I went on a walk to collect leaves for a little art project.  Since it was pretty foggy here the leaves were wet so we let them dry a little before we did our coloring.

Then we had a nice lunch and a very short nap before making our Thanksgiving cookies.  Saturday morning I was finally able to find some Thanksgiving cookie cutters.  Thank You to Beyond Pots and Pans!!  We had a turkey, leave, acorn and apple.  Thomas did a good job at cutting the cookies out.

Then we waited for the cookies to cool and for Noelle to wake up from her nap.  Then the fun started.  I don't think I need to write much... the pictures will tell there own story.

Noelle was signing she wanted more in this picture.

Thomas' first creation.

Then Thomas and I went and delivered some of the cookies to Grandma. We got home just in time to eat dinner.  Dad and Kelly made a fabulous meal!!!! I am very Thankful for my wonderful family.

Now I get to look forward to a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner with Mom and Aunt Paula and Scott.
