Thanksgiving and the Kid's Table for One

 

Who would have thought that our little family was ready to start the tradition of a Kid's Table for a holiday gathering? Certainly not us! 
But it was a smashing success at Thanksgiving

when Miss E had her very own kid's table this year...well, not exactly her very own table
because her "friends" were seated across from her. 


It all started it when we setting the table for 10 at Anne and Jed's place.
 

Where, oh where, should Miss E sit?  The table legs just weren't in a good spot for her.

And the Little Miss has been known to leave her seat for "greener pastures" and that

might be tricky for the table guests nearby.

Then, the light bulb moment came that there was a little table available, thanks to the

handing-down of Miss E's Great Grandfather's boyhood table.  With a little foofing up, the table

was covered with 2 striped place mats and a diagonal red napkin.
 Miss E's glittered Halloween pumpkin

was placed as a side centerpiece and 2 mini Indian corn cobs were placed nearby.

But the very best thing was that Miss E could "dine" with her beloved friends:

Vanessa, Pink Bear, Bumpkin Bear, Bunny and Doggie.
 

 

While nearby the rest of us dined with our real-life family and friends.

Towards the end of our meal, we noticed that not much food was eaten at the Kid's Table,

but there was one very happy 2 year old content to play away on Thanksgiving Day:

 

 

 

See her there?

She also managed to make it upstairs to put on her pink tutu and sparkly shoes.

 

I hope you and yours had a lovely Thanksgiving, too!
