Gobble gobble! Just last night my Mother-in-Law, Barb, and I were discussing what to have on the menu Thanksgiving dinner.  Before we know it, snow will be falling, and then just as quickly, the crocus will be peeping through.  Fall crafts are just one of the ways to make Thanksgiving memorable for the kids and this adorable clothespin turkey craft is a fun one!
