November Birthday Party

At our monthly birthday party we enjoyed a beautiful, yummy cake made by Merry's Custom Cakes:



After enjoying our cake, Sue provided us with some laughter telling us silly jokes and crazy stories. Then we decorated our turkey!?!?
Sue, Stu and myself designed the turkey out of construction paper and a brown bag. Thankfully Stu can draw because without him our turkey would have been unrecognizable! We cut out a bunch of 'feathers' and gave one to a each resident. The residents wrote what they are thankful for this holiday season and we attached them to the bird. How cute is our Tom?
