I have been waiting and waiting and waiting to post this fabulous play-date but had to wait for my week dedicated to all things Thanksgiving...I am so excited to finally get to share it with all of you!!

For the "Whoot of Thanks" Play Date theme, their inspirations came from a collaboration of fall, Thanksgiving, and Owls. They wanted to feature natural elements such as woods, moss and leaves to compliment this inspiration.
