On the Sunday before Thanksgiving, I always prepare and have our own little feast as a family. It is the only way I can justify hanging on to my china! Really, I just like to have the time with our girls. To prep for this, I started at the first of November asking everyone to write down one thing they were thankful for each night. We didn't make it every night, but we did quite a few. Junie was thankful for ladybugs every night. After that it was princesses, Tinkerbell,
Marme and Par, and
blankies. Bella had more varied answers that included owls, peace signs and Alex, her doll.
All ready for our dinner. I let everyone pick one thing for the feast. I chose spinach artichoke dip for the appetizer. Bret chose
bbq sandwiches. Bella chose corn and Junie wanted M&M's.
It was a unique but wonderful feast! The best part, I was surrounded by what I am most grateful for, my wonderful family.
