Thanksgiving preparations

We are trying hard to get excited for Thanksgiving. It's pretty hard since there is Christmas stuff everywhere. So we have been focusing on Turkeys for the last week. Today, we made Turkey cookies to eat when Evan and Marin come to visit us on Thanksgiving. Evie took a very active role in decorating. Her future as a pastry chef/cake decorator is off to a good start.

Here's Evie demonstrating the art of feather placement on the cookie. Note the picture that she is working off of is a picture from the coupon section of the newspaper. A finished turkey. Evie was in charge of the feathers and eyes and Mom is in charge of the frosting.
This is hard work.

The finished products. Note the green and orange around Evie's lips. No good chef will serve something without trying it first.
