Thanksgiving with Kids

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa…
You’ve been caught!
  Slowly put down the mistletoe and let’s focus on Thanksgiving for a second.


I know, I know – I’m excited about Christmas, too.  In fact, it’s taking every fiber of my being to not “deck the halls!”  I’m right there with ya’ – I don’t know who much longer I can hold out…I give it until tomorrow.  😉
I-tell-ya’-what, let’s cheat, we’ll turn up the Christmas music AND participate in a little bit of Thanksgiving fun.  Deal?!

So, here we go…

I found some super cute Thanksgiving ideas/crafts/treats (via Pinterest and Google) to do/make with/for the kids!

  1. What great ideas! I'm definitely going to try a couple out with the kiddos. We always do Thanksgiving Bingo every year too.

    And I'm with you – I just can't decorate yet – I've always been a day after Thanksgiving Christmas decorator and I don't think that will ever change…but I do listen to Christmas pretty much all of November LOL

  2. Hahahaha, you caught me!! Yes, I'm one of THOSE. I used to always wait until the day after Thanksgiving to decorate, but being as how we're so busy now with the little ones AND I put SOOOO much stuff up (so it takes forever) I start decorating around mid-November. I figure, if it's gonna take me two weeks to get it up, I better put it up early enough for us to enjoy it for a while. We always wait to get our tree until the day after Thanksgiving, though, because we get a real one and we wouldn't want it to be brown by the time Christmas came around. Hahahaha.

  3. I saw that candy corn turned into a corn cob craft for the first time this year. My mind was blown!

    No Christmas anything here until after Thanksgiving…gotta respect the turkey!
