My family and I recently moved from Canada to the US and we are excited to celebrate our first US Thanksgiving as a family.
In Canada, Thanksgiving falls in October and it tends to be a much simpler affair than American Thanksgiving.
I can’t wait to share with my kids the grandiosity of the American Thanksgiving from my childhood complete with the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, The National Dog Show, perhaps a football game and beautiful DIY Thanksgiving decor! Plus of course the delicious Thanksgiving Day feast!
Thanksgiving is the perfect time to gather with loved ones, share delicious food, and celebrate all that we’re thankful for. And what better way to add a personal touch to your holiday decor than with some Cricut-made crafts?
