Getting Ready for Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is around the corner. What is everyone doing for the BIG dinner? Last year, I tried making a turkey for the first time and it was quite an ordeal. It turned out well though. This year, we'll probably just stick with Chinese hot pot, which should be so much less work. ^^ As long as all the love ones are together eating at one table, it won't matter what we eat. For the occasion, we're making some paper autumn leaves. 
First, I selected tan, yellow, orange and brown construction papers, and drew some leaf shapes to cut out the stacked papers. 

Then, I had Sophie add in some details to the leaves.

She did a fine job making each leaf special. =)

We collected the ones that were already done in a pile while we worked on the rest.

After the leaves were all drawn, we strung them all together and decorated the mantel.

Does it fell like autumn enough yet? ^_^ Maybe if I light some pumpkin scented candles.
We wish everyone a happy Thanksgiving!
