THANKSGIVING BLESSINGS FROM OUR HOUSE TO YOURS

From the adults table....

And the kids table....

I think this will be the end of an era as the three that are still using the table are one nine and twins almost eight. The little table has been loved by my grandchildren.  It started life as a red kids size folding table and chairs from Target when the oldest (he is 15) was about four.  I so loved having it for the wee ones and wanted to use for other holidays (besides Christmas & Valentine's Day) so I made tablecloths and covers for the chair backs for Easter and Thanksgiving (used light weight oil cloth).  The dishes are from Pottery Barn Kids (long ago).  Decorated with a couple of turkeys and a little woodsy looking train who's caboose was an acorn with a squirrel on top.  I am not the only one sad.....the eight year old and I discussed the end of the table and his eyes welled up with tears - made Grammie cry too.

When all the leaves are off the boughs,
And nuts and apples gathered in,
And cornstalks waiting for the cows,
And pumpkins safe in barn and bin,
Then Mother says, "My children dear,
The fields are brown, and autumn flies;
Thanksgiving Day is very near,
And we must make thanksgiving pies!"
