thanksgiving fun

No, its not Thanksgiving yet, but we've had lots of fun this week getting ready. Kaden and I have been talking a lot about the first Thanksgiving and how it all started. We've made 2 or 3 different turkeys (turkey apples, a styrofoam turkey with feathers, a paper turkey) and then we decided to try pilgrim hats.

I found the recipe online, and it was actually pretty fun (and easy) to do.

First, we lined a cookie sheet with wax paper and put those striped shortbread cookies face down.


Next, we melted chocolate chips in the microwave. We put a large marshmellow on a toothpick and dipped it in the chocolate.

Then we put the marshmellow on top of the cookie.


Once we were done with that, they went into the fridge for a couple of hours to set up.

Finally, I used yellow frosting to make the buckle of the hat.

Didn't they turn out cute?! They were pretty good too.
