Thanksgiving has always been one of my favorite holidays. Today, I am sharing our family’s favorite Thanksgiving games, but first, the backstory…
Growing up, Thanksgiving was one of my favorite holidays and it wasn’t my favorite because of the food or the pie (although the food and pie were delish!), it was because of a game.
Every Thanksgiving, I would play my favorite game, Scrabble, with my aunt. My aunt loved Scrabble as much – if not more- than I did.We created such wonderful memories around that table!
Those are memories that I cherish today, and the time spent with family around that Scrabble board still influences my family life and homeschool today.
