Hope you had a good Thanksgiving. This is kind of a weird picture, but I didn't photograph my Napco turkeys, and at least you can sort of see them here. The pie came out great, even though the cinnamon on the maple leaves makes them look a little toasty. I'm planning to have some of what's left of this for breakfast. Pie for breakfast is a tradition that dates back at least to frontier times, and I'm going to do my best to uphold these cherished American customs.
We had a little bit of a leaf theme - on the base of some more Gurley candles, the napkin rings, the linens.
We're having our traditional day-after-Thanksgiving dinner tonight. Here's how to make it. You'll need leftover stuffing, leftover turkey and leftover gravy. I never have enough stuffing, so I make another batch just for this. Cut or shred the turkey into smallish bite-size pieces. Mix it in with the stuffing. Add just enough gravy to make it casserole-ish, and bake it for 25-30 minutes in a 350 degree oven. I am starting to feel weak with hunger.
Obligatory post-dinner picture of the guys watching football. I know somebody who wouldn't be happy if he knew his picture was on my blog, and I don't mean the dog.
It's the big decorating day around here. I don't have figures on everything (Santa figures, bottle-brush trees, ornaments, snowmen, etc.) but I do know that I have at least 20 cardboard village houses and 14 Santa mugs to find homes for today. Depending on how it goes, I might have pictures all weekend, or none at all. But I did do a really cute and easy project Thursday, and I'll post pictures of that on Monday, so come on back then for sure.
I did my part, I had left over pecan pie for breakfast. It was good, but I felt a little guilty. :) I've already started that whole... "I'm gonna start a diet soon" talk. Have a great weekend. xoxo, Joanna

My favorite breakfast is pumpkin pie and a large creamy cup of French Roast! Truly! LOL!
I'm glad your family enjoyed a nice Thanksgiving. It's been a treat to see your turkeys and your other lovely decorations.
