Turkey cookies

I hadn't even realized that it has been a week since I last blogged! Not much has been going on, though. Last week was a regular week really. On Saturday my friend Karen and I went to my friend Kim's house for a Partylite party and Girls Night In sort of night. I had a lot of fun being around the girls but when that was over I headed over to meet Ryan at his friend's house where they were watching football.

Sunday morning after breakfast Ryan headed up into the attic to bring down my Christmas decorations! The weekend before Thanksgiving means Christmas decorations for me! :-) I got the little "knick-knack" type items put up around the house and I strung the lights onto the tree (Libby is soooo not interested in that task). When I was done with the lights she hung all the ornaments and that completed our inside decorations. After Thanksgiving I'll take down my Harvest decorations from outside and put up my outdoor Christmas decorations and then we'll be all set!

Even though we are all decorated for Christmas inside we are still waiting for Thanksgiving. Tonight Libby and I made turkey cookies. It was fun decorating them but Libby's favorite part (of course!) was eating them when we were all done! :-) We also have been working on our Tree of Thanksgiving and we have two more nights of that. I have some paper leaves and each night we are each writing something that we are thankful for and hanging the leaves on a pretty branch that Ryan found for me. I just had the idea recently and I really like the way it is turning out so this is definitely a tradition that we'll do each year for Thanksgiving!
