Planes, Trains, & Automobiles

Every Thanksgiving, we have the tradition of watching Planes, Trains, & Automobiles. For those who haven't seen the movie, it is a hilarious, heart warming journey of two travelers trying to get home for Thanksgiving. After the kids are asleep, my hubby & I curl up on the sofa, & laugh & cry throughout the movie-it is always one of my favorite times of the holiday weekend.

Thanksgiving in Silhouette

If I was hosting Thanksgiving at my house this year (it is still my Mom's tradition), I would create a tablecloth with silhouettes of all my family members gathered around the table (somewhat similar to Martha's creation below except in black and white). Or perhaps I would have cookies or silhouette tags as place cards, black and white silhouette china, and throw some pillows (my pug Coco would look incredible) around for good measure. Maybe next year........

Kids Table

Found a few more Thanksgiving ideas for the kids table......






Don't forget a game of "Turkey Trot" to help burn off some of that Thanksgiving feast!
