Thanksgiving – Our Newest Tradition — A Talent Show

Our Frugal Thanksgiving Entertainment!

We’ve celebrated Thanksgiving twice a year for years.  Once with Mr. Sidetracked’s side of the family and once with mine.  Both are very special and we always look forward to both!

When we get together with my side of the family, it’s usually on Thanksgiving day.  It has changed over the years as family members have moved closer.  Last year, was the first year we actually travelled out of town, because my sister who lived about 9 hours from us moved to only 3 hours away from us and wanted to host in her new home.  That was the first year we experienced this new tradition that is geared especially for the children.

After the Thanksgiving meal is eaten and mostly cleaned up, all the kids gather together and put on a talent show.  My 2 sisters’ kids who have gotten together for several years in a row have been doing this as their annual tradition, but last year was the first time my children were involved.

We all gather around in the main room of the house and let each child who wants to, share a special talent.  This has included:

  • Sing a song (the little kids are super cute doing this!)
  • Play a song on the piano or other instrument
  • Say a rhyme
  • Do a skit (a lot of times, the cousins [there’s 14 of them!] will get together and make a skit and quickly memorize their parts and/or songs….they have a lot of fun doing it)
  • Do a cheer (one of the cousins is a cheerleader)
  • Demonstrate your football moves  (one of them was in football)
  • Demonstrate Karate moves (we’ve got 3 in karate)

I’m sure what they do will change throughout the years.  My 11 year old has already written and composed a song on the piano about Thanksgiving that I am strictly forbidden to read the words to.  I had to hear the music because she practices it a good part of the day.  They’re all super excited to share something at the talent show!

Do you have any fun Thanksgiving traditions that your children look forward to?

Here are some pictures of our talent show last year:

I think they were singing a group song
The audience’s applause!
The famous football moves!  LOL

  • Amorette DavisUser of the Free Freezer to Slow Cooker One Week Menu

    Thank you so much! As a special needs mommy these recipes have helped us so much.   I often am very busy with being a nurse for our child that I don't have time for making sure we get meals.  This allows me to do all my prep on the weekends, while my husband is home to help, and to cook during the week.  So grateful!

  • Linda SearsOwner of Freezer to Slow Cooker Menus

    Sarah’s Freezer to Slow Cooker ebooks have been a fantastic addition to my meal plans.  They make meal planning easy and my family happy. I love the way each recipe is laid out, with a shopping list and ingredient prep list, along with cooking instructions. Sarah’s done all the hard work for me!  The recipes have used have all been delicious and easily adaptable to my family’s taste and the number of people I’m serving.

  • FranOwner of Freezer to Slow Cooker Ebooks
     I purchased all of your freezer to slow cooker ebooks a month or so ago and I'm in love with this way of cooking.  I now have taken all 10 weeks of recipes and written them of my menu planner and then I repeated the 10 weeks and will continue to do so throughout the year.  My family of 5 adults and 1 child enjoy the meals that you have planned and I have cooked and I'm excited that the next time when that meal comes due up in the rotation I won't have to purchase anything but just pull it from the freezer.  Thank you so much

    This makes my life so much easier. I'm a busy work at home/stay at home mom, wife, business woman and I feel like dinner is always the thing I just never get time to do. We have done like 15 of the crockpot recipes from Sarah and they are all very yummy. They get a thumbs up from my husband and kids every time. And there is always enough for my husband to take the left overs at least 2x per recipe. I have a family of 5, 2 adults, 21, 13, 16. So it makes plenty. Thank you Sarah.

    I am a 59-year-old wife and mother of two grown children.  I love your idea of fixing a lot of meals ahead of time and then pulling one out, put it in the crockpot, and you have dinner when you get home.  I hate feeling rushed when I cook so Monday - Friday I use those crockpot meals and make enough that we have lunch the next day.  I take Sunday afternoon, fix up what I need for the week (I don't have a lot of freezer space so I do a week's worth at a time) and I'm done with it!  Saturdays I like to try new recipes from some of my cookbooks which I am finding I can freeze as well!  So you have shown me a whole new way to organize my time and still put a healthy meal on the table.  Thanks so much and I look forward to future blogs.
