Today my cutest friend Audrey invited us over for some good ol' fashioned cookie-makin' fun! She had the funnest idea to make cookies with the kids hand-prints and decorate them like turkeys for Thanksgiving. I'm so glad I have friend who think of these fun things to do. My poor kids would suffer greatly if I was left to be creative on my own.
We all took turns tracing the kids hands and cutting out hand-shaped cookies. The older kids thought it was pretty cool that older kids = bigger hands = bigger cookies!
All off the kids were sooo excited they could hardly stand it. (well... minus the sweet baby girl who really needed a nap) The all stood around watching as their cookies were baking in the oven. They couldn't believe it when their already-giant cookies kept getting bigger and bigger as they cooked. It was truly fascinating for them!
When they were finally done they got to decorate their turkeys. Gobble, Gobble.
Ta-Da!!!! 
Thanks Audrey & Kristen for the fun morning. And thanks to Audrey for using your brain and being all creative and what not. (And for letting us all destroy your house again!)

It looks like you had fun. You're lucky to have such fun friends, and you are a good mom too.
You really are giving me way too much credit! We need to schedule regular times to do fun stuff like this--I don't think my kids get out enough. We had tons of fun today, and can't wait to do something again soon!
P.S. What a sweet husband you have! (See above comment.)
That is a great idea! They turned out really cute. Way to give Thanksgiving some much needed holiday attention. Poor little guy gets swallowed up by Christmas every year.
It was way fun - and thanks girls for including me!! You two are the best!
You pretty much can't go wrong making fun cookies with friends! I love it. This Audrey seems like keeper! Happy Thanksgiving!
