Thanksgiving weekend

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving yesterday and are all still stuffed! This morning, Mimi and I hit the Black Friday sales and got lots of good deals on necessities (baby food and diaper wipes) as well as fun treats for the girls (board games, toys, and other Christmas goodies). Now we're hanging out and enjoying the chance to relax. Audrey is taking a nap with Boppa, Ellie is watching the Macy's Parade on DVR with Mimi, and Lori is reading a good book. Ahhh, life is good!

Our little turkeys!


Ellie taking a bite out of each her three dessert selections. She decided that apple pie was the best....


but then decided that she would rather just have a real apple!


Audrey had Thanksgiving dinner, too - her first taste of applesauce....


which as you can see she wasn't crazy about!


Mimi helped Ellie make snowmen pretzels. Ellie loved it!

Sounds like the perfect day!

Mimi- how do you make those snowman pretzels???? I want to make those! =)

The pretzels are really easy! You melt white chocolate chips and dip half of a large rod pretzel in it. Then to decorate you use tiny chocolate chips for the bottons and eyes, gel icing for the nose, and a fruit roll-up piece for the scarf. The hat is made from a gumdrop on top of a jelly ring candy (like a gumdrop but in the shape of a ring). Taylor would probably like to make them, too!
