Our traditions...

I love to try and have traditions in our family.  One thing that we have enjoyed over the past few years has been to take a creative dessert to Thanksgiving with our extended families.  Last year we made sugar cookies and decorated them with Fall colored icing.  They were a great hit and the family loved them.  
This year we are taking Pilgrim Hats.  We found the recipe on Family Fun Magazine's website.  It was fun to make them and to lick our fingers! 
Here is the recipe (really we didn't cook anything so I guess it is more of an assembly) 
You need a package of Keebler Fudge Stripe Cookies, a bag of marshmallows, yellow icing, and wax paper for allowing to dry.

1.  Dip large marshmallows in melted chocolate. 
2.  Place marshmallows on top of fudge stripe cookie
3.  add a buckle to the hat with yellow icing when the chocolate dries. 
4.  transfer off of wax paper when dry. 
5.  add joke below to card and place in front of platter. 

This is David's fave holiday joke:
Why did the Pilgrim's pants always fall down? 
Because they wear their belt buckle on their hats! 

Happy Thanksgiving from
