Thanksgiving {2013}

HaPpY ThAnKsGiViNg!!!!

The chilly weather made the 5K Turkey Trot a "No Go" and instead we spent the morning decorating our turkey hand print cookies. 

 A certain little angel couldn't help himself & started sampling the merchandise. How can you say, "no" to a face like that?

We rounded out the rest of the morning prepping tasty treats before heading over to YiaYia & Bopi's to sip & feast our way through the day.

Cousins & Besties

Beyond thankful for these two.

The littles and adults alike tried their hand at Turkey Day BINGO. Belle has already requested this be an annual tradition.

After we could eat no more, we headed over to YiaYia Terry & Papou Yiannis' for round 2. I forgot my camera so sadly I don't have pics of all the cousins & the fun that was had. I did grab a quick shot of Peanut & his much loved Baltimore cousin J. These two cuties are only 2 days apart and thick as thieves when they get together.

And with that, Thanksgiving 2013 is in the books and I'm about to carry my very sleepy self up to bed.
Hope your Thanksgiving was filled with those you hold near and dear to your heart; and thank you for taking time out of your busy life to follow my lil blog.

Hugs!

Thanksgiving Fun & Teacher Treats

Happy Friday Everyone! We have a  full schedule this weekend, but I'll be sure carved out some time to stop off at the store and pick up all the supplies needed for the surprises I've got planned for the littles this week. Hopefully you'll have the chance to try one or two of these out with your own family.

And while you're out, don't forget Thanksgiving Teacher Treats. Last year I managed to bake up mini pumpkin bread, but this year I'll be packaging up 10 baggies of goodies for all the teachers/coaches/instructors in our littles' lives.

As much as I love giving homemade treats, there just isn't the time this year so I picked up this scrumptious looking peppermint bark at Costco. After all, it is the thought that counts. I plan to package them with tags reading, "Hope your Holidays are off to a great start. Happy Thanksgiving"  or something to that effect.

And with that, I'm off to start the weekend rush…hair appointment, errands, pizza party, swimming, ballet, & our lil nephew G's baptism bash all in one weekend. I'm already exhausted!
