Thanksgiving Blessings to You and Yours!

Hi Everyone!

Isn't this an adorable shot of my Storytimer, Christian? He did a fantastic job on his Loopy Turkey (can you imagine where I got that name from?). These were made at our Thanksgiving storytime on November 23. The children had a lot of fun separating out the loop colors for the feathers. And, of course, eating them thereafter! The recipe is below.

There will be lots of holiday cheerful programming in December. YAYA Christmas Party will be December 7 at 5:30 pm and the TPH @ The Bean Holiday With Music meeting will be December 14 at 3:30 pm. The Christmas preschool storytimes will be December 14 and 17. There's lots of fun to be had!

I hope that you have a safe and blessed Thanksgiving. Take care and come see me during the holidays for all your reading (and fun!) needs!
