{Thanksgiving Around Here}

not too many thanksgiving decorations up in our house.
the poor favorite forgotten holiday.:)

we just leave all our non-jack-o-lantern goodies up and add in a few extras.


preschool turkeys
 

and second grade pilgrim girls
 
i fell in love with this when i saw it but it just didn't look quite right over our fireplace.
so i decided to put it on the little wall near the stairs and hang our thankfuls there.
so far i think it works.
 



...momentary pause for a cute little princess dora with her cape, backpack, pony and paper boots prancing around...


i just loved this too.
so i decided to make one.
our fireplace needed a little somethin since our thankfuls were hanging somewhere else this year.


and one of my favorite thanksgiving things...the quilt i made with the first grade class i interned with waaaaaaaay back in 1988. (yikes!) they gave it to me as a gift when i left and it has hung in my/our home ever since.



so there you have it.
that's pretty much what thanksgiving looks like around here.

have a happy day,
cindy

  3. Love the preschool turkeys in that first photo, so precious! Our home is pretty much the same with a few orange and brown non Halloween decorations left out. I'm trying so hard to leave it all up until after Thanksgiving but I'm so ready for some Christmas fun!! :)

  6. Laughing, same here friend...a few pumpkins remain around our house, and now I have 2 of Boyd's Thanksgiving school placemats on the fridge. That is all. I'm ready to pack it all up, to be honest, and dig into Christmas! :)
