Our little pilgrim stands in front of the Thankful Tree where we have been collecting leaves on which we write the things we are thankful.
It was a grand feast. Fourteen adults and six children and babies gathered around two tables. As we ate,we shared with one another some of the things that we are grateful for.
I love traditions. Every Thanksgiving, after the table is cleared, we decorate gingerbread houses. It's a fun way to get a jump start on our Christmas decorations, too. 
The rule at in our home is that the gingerbread house remains a decoration until December 26th (Jackson's birthday) and cannot be consumed until then. Yes, the thought of eating a stale candy house that has been sitting out for a month is disgusting to most of us, but for children, it is one of the grand prizes of the season.

Happy Thanksgiving Jen! It shouldn't surprise me that you have an activity planned after dinner...even for the adults! :)
