In years past we have always had Thanksgiving with family and most often it was at my house. Although I did not enjoy the cleaning part I loved cooking and creating a beautiful dinner!
This year , we were at loss as to what we would do to make it a special time and not feel so lonely!
We decided to make small gift bags full of useful things like ,socks,toothbrushes,combs,ect and find some homeless to share them with. Jacob and Megan stuffed the bags and Thanksgiving afternoon we headed out,praying we would find exactly the ones who needed it the most. Austin has homeless on nearly every street corner. We found about 15 people in one spot having their own little feast. The kids all got out and we went around handing the bags out. There was one women and she was excited cause the bags were hot pink and she said she never gets anything girly !
We went home and pulled our small little table into the living room where we had our dinner. It was hard for me to not have the big beautiful dining room all set up but the kids loved it and asked if we could do it again next year! Amazing how kids help you see the fun in everything!
