I think that last year I just did the turkey, stuffing and gravy for the 30 of us. We do the appetizers and snacks for fun. I hope that you have help with at least some of the cooking.

I've toyed with some similar thoughts, but have never implemented. Maybe I'll make it part of school. This is a neat idea. I’ve toyed with some similar thoughts, but have never implemented.

Every day we write down something we are thankful for and put it in the pocket on the calendar. Then on Thanksgiving day we will read them all outloud. I pray it helps my children anticipate the holiday a bit more and open up conversation about giving thanks to the Lord and how that is so important in our faith. If I can get my computer to cooperate I will post pictures on my blog, It hasn't been letting me upload anything! Love the idea of natural decor I might just have to incorporate some of that also. This is the one time a year that all my family is together, my two brothers and my parents all come up for 4 or 5 days. Tons of fun and fellowship!

To see families loving and serving each other (a little taste of heaven). I am overwhelmed with seeing all my grandchildren being raised in godly homes. There is nothing more I can ask for, God has truly blessed me. Looking forward to another wonderful thanksgiving day!

Hmmm? Or is there another "tradition" you're going to expound upon? :) Is it just a coincidence that all of your non-proper nouns that you capitalized spell “Baby”?

Hmmm?

Or is there another “tradition” you’re going to expound upon?
