Happy Thanksgiving

One platter of turkey cookies. She is proud of them though she didn't help all that much. She is a good watcher and encourager too:)
Elli lost interest about 5 minutes in. We made one cookie and then it was too long for her to wait on the rest:) She did enjoy eating extra icing, pretzels and candy corn though!
I searched high and low to find candy corn to make these turkey cookies. CVS had a few bags left over. So, Elli and I decided to make the cookies for Thanksgiving.
At church, we got cards and suggestions for random acts of kindness. Ours said to make a dessert for our mailman. We put a couple cookies in a bag and left them in the mailbox. Elli was waiting for the mailman and then decided to pray. She prayed, "God, please help the mailman to arrive safely to our house. Help the rain to stop. Help the mailman to know you." I may have a little missionary on my hands:)

These pics of Elli are so cute. Her smile is infectious!!! Looking at these cookies reminds me of those yummy chocolate covered marshmellows on top - yummy! What a cute story with the mailman!!
