our season prep continues today as we move towards Thanksgiving.  It is hard to believe November is almost over and December beckons around the corner.  With a below 30 degree chill outside, the weather has already brought in some of that Christmas spirit.

After several days of bringing up bins and decorating, we have gotten down to the final few items.  We spent today mixed with enjoying the kids being home from school, to finishing up the few pieces of garland and starting getting some of the outside lights ready for Christmas.  

While Tom was outside working on the lights, I snapped the picture above with the benefit of some great natural light.  My green, long North Face coat paired with a CC beanie were the perfect accessories for a cold Fall day.  

The large, bedazzled blue ornaments typically are part of our front-door display, but are still in limbo this year as we work through the difference options this year.

Tom, I, & the kids also had the opportunity to make little turkeys from:  brownie, a nutter butter, little candy eyes, candy corn feathers & a twizzler gobbler.

Our apple pie still awaits baking, but it is common for us to peel, slice, and sprinkle the apples in during the Thansgiving Day Parade procession.
