We've had Thanksgiving at my sister's house the past few years. We sit outside, at two long tables connected in an "L" shape. I always love her very sweet and fun ideas for table decor. (I love all of my sister's decorating.)
Last year she had the kids make the placecards a few days ahead of time. They made turkeys with an inkpad and their fingers and thumbs and some googly eyes.
My nephew decided his would be a cyclops. :)
She used family photos to decorate little pumpkins, and there were pots of mums. It was so personal and nice.
In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him.
