Yummy Thanksgiving Treats

Check out these treats

I am still trying to pick which treat I want to make for C’s preschool Thanksgiving Feast!!! I know – way to wait until the last minute, but maybe you can help me decide.

I was checking out familyfun.go.com and found some REALLY cute treats for kiddos! Here are the two I have narrowed it down to.



You can find the how to’s for the Acorn Dough Nuts here and for the Marshmallow Pilgrim Hats here!

So which one would you make?

Happy feasting to you,

Give Thanks

In Style

Do you have a kids table at your Thanksgiving feast? Depending on where we are feasting there will be a table set aside for the younger ones. I have fond memories as a young girl, sitting with my cousins - coloring; playing games; not having any adults telling me how I ought to sit and eat; and enjoying the yummy food together.

Well, this year we will be having a kids table at our Thanksgiving meal destination and you just have to see this SUPER clever idea I saw over at One Charming Party! (Check out the blog for the how-to's)






I can’t wait to make this for the kiddos this year! Maybe I will make the corn husks for the adults too. So much fun!


Happy Thanksgiving to you,

Halloween Fun

Halloween Fun

We had a fun Halloween celebration! The boys enjoyed parties at their school. As if they didn't have enough treats - we continued the festivities the next evening at our stake center where we enjoyed the annual Trunk or Treat bash!


We were rock stars this year and I will be the first to admit, I just didn’t have it in me to come up with some clever costumes. We do have fun dressing up as a family and this year was no exception (even if the costumes were not so original). 


The boys felt like rock stars so that is all that matters!!! 

Peanut #3's shirt says "Cry Loud, Rock Hard"


The older boys thought Hud-Nut looked funny in the mullet wig. 

Since Halloween fell on a Sunday this year, we didn't go Trick or Treating but we had a great time with a few other families and really enjoyed our Spooky Feast!!! Thanks for the invite (you know who you are ;-)

We filled up on a snake calazone, bloody rats (meatloaf), a puken' pumpkin, newt eyes (deviled eggs), witches fingers, bleeding hearts (red jello cut out in heart shapes - not pictured) and some yummy spider web seven layer dip. We also had delicious desserts (I was too busy eating them to get a picture of them). 


After dinner and some time to visit we had fun watching the kiddos have race of eating donuts off a string.
 There was no cheating going on here - wink, wink!
The older kids did a good job!!! Big D did win - although he may have used his arm for assistance a time or two.

Each couple raced too (except for my hubby and me - I was seriously gagging watching the others do it, dang gag reflex). 

And so that my hubby wouldn't feel left out the men raced him too.

We had a blast and are already looking forward to next year's festivities. But for now we will prepare ourselves for Thanksgiving and Christmas!  


Happy Fun Making to you,
