Some Thanksgiving Stuff...

The day before Thanksgiving:

Caralie Pilgrim.

Caralie Indian.

Her class made this lovely concoction for their Friendship Feast:

It contains the following:

• Chex
• Cheerios
• M&Ms
• Goldfish
  
• Skittles
• rainbow marshmallows
• white chocolate chips
• raisins
• pretzels

Can you say...barf? I might've got on board but for the Skittles, Goldfish, and rainbow marshmallows which really have no place with the other ingredients. 5 year olds have no taste however and they all finished their bags by the end of the day. Barf.

A turkey between the eyes.

Caralie helped me prepare for The Day by assisting me in making a bunch of deviled eggs:

So happy to be photographed again.

That night I discovered that, once again, my bed had been "made:"

Then in the morning I found this on the bathroom sink:

Just look at all that lovely toothpaste. Makes the next photo not-so-delicious:

I made cinnamon rolls for Thanksgiving breakfast. I was disappointed yet again. They were too dry for my taste and I didn't add enough milk to the frosting so it was kinda ... thick. I froze a dozen of the rolls before rising, so next time around I'll try baking them a little less.

And can you believe I got no photos of Thanksgiving dinner? It was that good. No, actually it was. I still swear by cooking a turkey breast in the crockpot! Delish.

So that night, when Caralie was asleep I did a couple of things that she had been asking for:

I put up the tree ...

and the stockings ...

and attached this to the tree.

She was quite delighted in the morning, let me tell you.

I know because she told me.

At 6 AM.
