Or are you saving the Pensieve Punch for the Christmas party? <br /><br />By the way, I ended up making an orange version of the punch on Halloween to surprise hubby and son, and it was a huge hit. I had to go get the dry ice from an actual dry ice dealer since all the Publixes were sold out because of Halloween, and she insisted that I needed five pounds of it even though I knew that was too much, but we had so much fun with the leftover dry ice that I'm not complaining. Anyway, I think that might end up being a Halloween tradition now, so thanks for the idea! <br /><br />Hope you guys will have a beautiful Thanksgiving! I'm so thankful for both of you!<br /><br />KWAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-9526634187860423082016-11-22T12:18:55.800-05:002016-11-22T12:18:55.800-05:00how do you turn the tealights on or off? or are th...how do you turn the tealights on or off? or are they just permanently on?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03833429892511261264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-82071321597203342512016-11-22T08:32:25.052-05:002016-11-22T08:32:25.052-05:00This is awesome!!
