“This Sabbath day has been designated as a day of thanksgiving, a day of gratitude—even a day of prayer. We pause, we ponder, we reflect on the blessings an all-wise Heavenly Father has bestowed upon us, His children, by bringing comfort to the hearts of so many in this wonderful world where we live and which we call home”
~Thomas S. Monson
A single photo – no words – capturing a moment from our lives.
A simple, special, memorable moment.
A moment I want to pause, savor and keep close to my heart.

Good weekend my friends.
At what it takes to pull something like this off.
All for….him.
Oh, and we’re all still sleeping from our riotous evening…with the “boy who lived.”
Check back when we’re coherent.
Heh.
Go Harry.
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzz….
I know…I know. You’re thinking, “What?! Two cookie projects in one week?!! Launi, Launi–what are you doing?”
Hang on now–admit it. Aren’t these the dang cutest things you’ve seen in a long time? You know they are, so you see? I couldn’t help myself. Here they are…
Start with Fudge Stripe cookies, Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups–the little ones,
Fruit roll-ups and Pez–any color. I was a bit disheartened to find that I only had pink Pez. Not sure how the pilgrims would feel about pink…but we forged bravely ahead.
At first, I thought we’d need frosting to glue everything together, but there is an interesting thing that happens when you put chocolate by more chocolate. They tend to stick. So, while I was mocking up the hats with sincere plans to make the frosting later, I came back and found that it really wasn’t needed.
I cut the fruit roll ups into strips with a pizza cutter, in a sort of rounded shape.
The better to lay flat around the hat…with.
Set the Pez up to the seam part of the fruit roll up. Again, I was thinking that we’d need frosting–and of course, you are welcome to use it, but these little beggars held together without it as well. And quite frankly, I’m not a huge icing fan–so why muck up a good thing if you don’t need to?
And there you have it my dears.
I think this yummy project would make lovely little diversions for the “kid’s table” on Thanksgiving.
