Happy Thanksgiving!We've been enjoying the season & have so many blessings to be thankful for!
The kids are at great ages to enjoy projects together... so we've been busy being artsy! We made gingerbread houses - everything from scratch but don't think I didn't search every store looking for a peanut safe "kit!" They didn't have anything safe for Ian so I found a delicious recipe that not only makes 2 houses, but it makes a dozen chewy, delicious gingerbread men cookies too! I honestly thought this was going to be a disaster but the kids LOVED it... I had never made royal icing but it worked like a charm & dried quickly enough for little artists.

We also recently did our annual "salt dough" ornaments. This project is one of my favorite - it goes quickly (we microwave ours) and the kids go from mixing dough & doing cutouts to painting/coloring within a short amount of time.
We even visited santa at the mall already. We're looking forward to more fun in December: Polar Express train ride, Festival of Lights at the Botanical Gardens, breakfast with Santa, family visiting, making cookies & candy and making a birthday cake for Jesus on Christmas morning.
