The meals are rather elaborate and preparation starts as early as two days before the big day. So ask a family member to click pictures while you are making the meal.

2.      Write about all the thanksgiving decorations which you have put up in the house. Things like a special table centerpieces and runners can be highlighted in the scrapbook using pictures. Since these are not regular items which one finds in the house everyday of the year, cherish them.
