Welcome friends, to Farmhouse Friday 424. Do you have your fat pants on and are ready for Thanksgiving? Where will you be? Do you host at home? Maybe hit the road and visit a family member? Maybe you have dinner catered or go out somewhere? And what is your favorite side dish? Let me know in the comments!
We had a Pinterest Challenge this week and a virtual home tour with 35 homes in the mix! They are worth the time it will take you to see it all. Plop your feet up and check them all out. You’ll be amazed at all the fantastic inspiration!
5 Easy Ways to Spruce Up a Humdrum Stocking – Pinterest Challenge
A Classic Christmas Virtual Home Tour plus 34 more participants!
I realize Thanksgiving is next week and most of us are in Christmas mode, but I wanted to give the holiday more thought and recognition. So the feature theme this week is Great Thanksgiving Ideas! Let’s get started.
FARMHOUSE FRIDAY 424!
Creatively Beth has a great idea to keep the littles busy with a dollar tree clay pot turkey craft! If you have a house full, then you know this is important! Thank you Beth for trying to save our sanity!
Not only is it important to have a craft for the kids, but teaching them to be thankful is a must as well. Get this free printable from Darcy and Brian. Don’t forget to thank her while you’re there!
One more thing to help with Thanksgiving is to teach them table etiquette. And an excellent way to start is with how we set the table. You can find this printable at DIY Party Mom. They’ll love it!
I didn’t forget about the adults even though the kids will love this too. How about making pumpkin pie cheese crackers?! I want a plate of these all to myself! Find the how-to at Hunny I’m Home.

We are heading to my sister’s, as she has the largest house for our ever-growing family. Nika and I will be making a smaller, roasted turkey with all the stuffing (another family fave, and my fave side dish), and I’ll be making a cream cheese pie that is a family fave. I’ll make an extra one for take to our Hobby Lobby potluck, as well. Whew! What about you? Thanks for hosting, Cindy! I hope you link-up your tour at TTA! I would love to do a tour party!

Your plan sounds lovely! For me, the usual is hosting here. We have from 10 – 15 people each year. This year we have 11 and I’m going to try and cram us all in at one table! :0 We’ll see.
I’ll be making a couple of pies and for sure two different potato dishes to accommodate different palates and because I’m ridiculous. I like everyone to be happy. I’ll make sure and link up the tour. Happy Thanksgiving Julie!
Good morning Cindy. Thank you for the party, and enjoy the weekend.

Aww, that sounds like a great time away. Thank you for taking the time to link up. Be safe and Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving week! We are hosting my FIL for a couple weeks, so nice as none of our kids will make it home this year. Mr DIY will smoke a turkey breast and ham. I will do the sides and we have an apple torte from Aldi for dessert. Hope you enjoy a great week with family and friends!

Aww, I’m sure your FIL appreciates it as much as y’all enjoy hosting him. And kudos to you! I need to just go buy a couple of desserts instead of baking! Happy Thanksgiving!
Thanks for hosting! Happy Thanksgiving!
