Preparing for Thanksgiving

Well it is a little late on this Thanksgiving Eve, but I decided to make my desserts the night before thanksgiving and put out some pots and pans that I will need so that I would be more organized. Especially with the three boys running around and I also want to sit with them and make some crafts to decorate the table.

I bought two small pumpkin/squash for the kids and what we plan on doing is to cut the top off and empty them out and place some fall flowers in the middle for centerpieces. I also want to make little name tags to lay on the table for each person that will be with us on Thanksgiving.

Gil, his brothers and some close friends are going to have a paintball war during the morning of Thanksgiving. They have made it tradition to get together and either play football or do something together while the feasts are being prepared. Soon the kids will be joining in that tradition they just need to be a little bit older :)

On this Thanksgiving Day, I want to reflect on all of the things that I have been thankful for and to also ask the kids what they are thankful for. Kids are so innocent and honest that I am looking forward to hearing what they say.

I will take pictures and post them tomorrow evening.

Happy Thanksgiving in advance to all that could not be with us.

Love, Jodie
