Give Thanks! For love, your sweet children and all the turkeys in your life!

My son Eliot and I made a turkey pinata -- we'll all have fun taking a swing at the (paper) turkey tomorrow at the Farm.

We followed basic pinata making instructions  (links below). Scrounge around the house to see what you already have. Recycle and be creative with your resources.
