Well, the Christmas decor is forced upon us so early again this year in every store you enter. But Thanksgiving is one of my all-time favorite holidays. So we are waiting (although my restraint is difficult!) to put up our Christmas decorations until after Thanksgiving.
Elia helped create our Thanksgiving center piece this year. She chose a few fall leaves (yes, 80% off at Hobby Lobby, thank you very much) and then put her glitter-painted oak leaves she (stole) found in Nana and Poppy's yard in Bella Vista. They are huge, and her glitter actually makes them even more festive!

The artist hard at work (obviously after a bath, and yes, we wear boy pj's. So what?!)
The finished piece of art. This leaf is as big as Elia's face!! They are huge!
This is an antique German dough bowl my mom and I found at a 6 county-wide antique/flea market sale one year!
We've always collected the twine and wooden decorative balls, so we just embellished what we already had. Does that mean we're "going green"???
The large oak leaves are the real ones that Elia painted. She had so much fun!
