Here is a line up of some yummy things that will probably make our table.

Friday Favorites

Woo to the Hoo for Friday!  I have had such a busy week and an even busier weekend coming.  We will be having String Beane's 6th birthday party on Saturday.  There should be plenty of wild boys running around here!
  String Beane had a food challenge for pecans Tuesday and we go back this morning to challenge almonds.

He passed the pecan challenge!  So we will be pecan pie for Thanksgiving this year.  Yea! Here's hoping he will pass the almond challenge today as well.

So in light of the pecan pie being an option for us this Thanksgiving, I am going to feature some of the Thanksgiving yumminess I have seen on Pinterest.

I am drooling looking at this wonderful thing.

Thanksgiving Kids table

There are some precious ideas to make the kid's table fun in this link.

The Pioneer Woman's Pecan Pie

This is the pie that we will have.  She calls it "the pie that will make you cry".  I am so thankful that we have added a new food to String Beane's diet that I might just cry over this pie.  I think she gave it a great name!

What have you got planned for Thanksgiving this year?  I would love to know.  I will be cooking for 16 people this year!  Help me out people.  Give me some ideas.
