Thankful Turkey Tradition

He's a beaut!

It's Thankful Turkey Tradition Time! (Always a great time!) We've been doing it for 10 years now! (In case you're like me and want easy access of all the thankful turkeys we've ever created . . . well, here you go: 2022, 2021, 2020, 2019, 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014.) You know how it works: we're thankful and we write it down on feathers each night and fill out our turkey friend's tail all month long. Beautiful!

Mid-month check in (really so I can have a "Thanksgiving-y
pic for my free Shutterfly calendar that has to be used before
actual Thanksgiving).
