Well folks, I think I settled on an annual party I'd like to throw -- Pie Night! I first heard of pie night shortly after I entered Russ's family, because one of his aunts does this every year (for her immediate family I think, but that's how I heard about it). In case you're unfamiliar with it, the idea is that on Thanksgiving Day, you get too full from all the other good food, that by the time it's time to eat pie, you can't fully enjoy it.

But this year I really finished up the whole Thanksgiving look with my pie garland , "thanks and giving" printable , and my "thankful" garland. I now feel like my Thanksgiving decor is complete! this quote piece used to just be thanksgiving decor, but now i leave it up year-round.  Can't forget Tomothy the Thankful T(h)urkey ! Do you decorate
