Turkey Cookies!

Gavin and I were looking for fun turkey day cookies and we found this idea on recipezaar. We bought everything to make them for Thanksgiving but didn't get them done. Instead we made them for the BSU game on friday and took them to share with our family.

These are the most willing and happy helpers

What is more fun than cookies and candy! Oh yeah and licking the knife every time you frost a cookie. So for all those we shared with you are enjoying alittle more than you thought.

This is Noah's finished product! I hope you can see the turkey in them! He thoroughly enjoyed the candy

These are Gavin's cookies. He didn't want to put any of the hot m&m's on his. He did a really good job! But I think he enjoyed the frosting a lot!

These are what they were supposed to look like. We had so much fun! They can't wait until it is time to make the nexy batch! It was such a fun weekend with all of our family. We hope everyone else had a great Thanksgiving as well!

Happy Thanksgiving Eve!

I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving tomorrow. I am looking forward to a day of good food hopefully without indegestion and heartburn! Wonderful company and maybe a nap! I am thankful I do not have any stress related to this holiday( sorry Tammy, but thanks for hosting!) I am most thankful for my family and the love that we have for each other.

Is it almost Halloween or Thanksgiving?

I know Halloween has long come and gone and everyone has already posted pictures of their cute kids. Well since we have had some serious computer issues that thankfully have been worked out (thanks family) I thought since it is not quite Thanksgiving I would try to update us a bit.
We had one of the most relaxing and fun Halloweens I think we have had since we had kids. Usually we are trying to visit both grandparents, trunk or treat, and trick or treat in our neighborhoods in a matter of a few hours. This year we went to Grandpa and Grandma Petersons trunk or treat on wednesday. We visited my parents early on saturday. Then we made it to our trunk or treat and decorated our door. Last but not least we came home and Cort was able to take the kids around the neighborhood with their cousins. We invited his family over to have spudnuts and hang out. It was a lot of fun and we will definitly do the spudnuts again! YUM!!!
I think one of the nicest things about the night was that BOTH of my children enjoyed wearing their costumes. I hate when you buy these adorable costumes and they are horrible about wearing them. I am a bit biased but I think I had some of the cutest kids out there. I love the dragon costume and my dragon this year was so stinkn cute!! Gavin has officially hit big boy status. This year I was not allowed to have an opinion about what he was going to be. It was lucky that his cousin Zach had a Buzz Lightyear costume from years past. Thanks Megan!!

We didn't even plan this, but the boys' best friends from our ward both came as the same thing as them. Those are the two fiercest dragons I have ever met!
At Grandpa and Grandmas with uncle Doug and Aunt Halli. Starting off the night!

My cute little boys at our house on the hay. Best Friends!!!
