a new tradition is born... I hope each of you had a lovely Thanks giving yesterday. We had a wonderful holiday. All the pre-prep in the days prior allowed for a very relaxing, enjoyable day full of good food and family.
My favorite memory of the day was everyone sitting around the table wearing vibrantly colored paper hats. My mother-in-law had brought Christmas crackers and placed them above everyone's place setting. When we all gathered at the table, we each snapped the cracker, donned the enclosed paper hats and shared in the fun delights that we hidden inside like the fortune telling fish, marbles, and a miniature bowling set. Then we all went around and read the jokes that we tucked inside along with the toy. It was a totally unexpected and completely fun addition to the holiday table. We are definitely going to add those into our Thanksgiving and Christmas traditions.
