Gobble Up This Sweet Turkey Fondant Topper Tutorial!

Thanks­giv­ing is com­ing up in just a lit­tle over two weeks {how is that pos­si­ble?!} and we’ll be pack­ing up to do our tra­di­tion­al trav­el to North­ern Cal­i­for­nia to spend the hol­i­day with our fam­i­ly. I remem­ber my daugh­ter’s very first Thanks­giv­ing at sev­en months old, which inci­den­tal­ly was also her very first plane ride. The flight start­ed out with my worst fear as a moth­er of a baby com­ing to fruition: my child scream­ing her head off in the mid­dle of the plane… as we sat on the run­way… and the flight atten­dant ask­ing on the loud speak­er, “Every­one hear the baby cry­ing?!” Good times. My hus­band and I passed her back and forth between each oth­er when she final­ly fell asleep in my arms, as I was lean­ing for­ward in a bit of an awk­ward posi­tion. We were for­tu­nate the flight was only one hour because I sat there in that very posi­tion and did­n’t move a mus­cle until we land­ed. Phew. I could final­ly breathe. We sur­vived, but not with­out pas­sen­gers telling us Anabelle had “some lungs” and that we should sign her up for “Amer­i­can Idol”. It was about that time that I turned to my hus­band and informed him we had just inad­ver­tent­ly moved to North­ern CA because I did­n’t think I could ever get back on a plane with a baby! lol! Luck­i­ly, that was the only time she ever had a melt down on a plane, even through a cou­ple of inter­na­tion­al flights to Brazil, and no move was necessary. 😉

Before we head out for our annu­al Thanks­giv­ing trip, we have our school’s Har­vest Fes­ti­val com­ing up and guess who’s in charge of the Cup­cake Walk?
