Gobble, Gobble, Gobble, some of my favorite sounds because it means it is the day I eat all my favorite foods. All those mashed potatoes with gravy, the corn and of course the turkey. Maybe you are having lots of family over or it will be a nice quiet Thanksgiving just with the immediate family, but it would be nice to get in the spirit of the day and maybe make a few things as a centerpiece. Let your Thanksgiving craft flag fly and make some turkey crafts or some kids pilgrim paper crafts. This way you and your little ones can show off all that crafting talent and put a smile on everyone's face while they shovel in all that food. Yummy!
