This was inspiring! We live far away from any family so Thanksgiving has been kind of a bummer in the past. I really like the idea of getting a sheet tablecloth and writing on it. I just might try that.

I love your idea about the tablecloth! We will definitely have to do that this year… even though we’re going to my in-law’s for Thanksgiving. I’m sure grandma and grandpa wouldn’t mind a little graffiti at the table.

Thanksgiving is not really a holiday that I enjoyed growing up. While we were together with family, my sisters and brother and I were the oldest of the cousins. So each year we were bored to death, stuck handwashing dishes ALL weekend (all real dishes, for 30 people, for every meal) AND spent the rest of the time babysitting the younger cousins. I’m sure the grown-ups enjoyed themselves but my sibs and I would’ve much rather stayed at home. I pray that I am building better memories with my children when it comes to certain holidays.
