Kids at the table: Have a basket of crayons, paper, crafts and fun things to do and make when they get bored later in the day.
Give thanks during grace: Before everyone digs into the feast, offer thanks and gratitude by having everyone share one thing they're grateful for.
Set the table and put place cards at each persons place with their name and something you are grateful for because of who they are or what they've done.
To encourage a continued attitude of gratitude send a card to each guest with a gratitude quote and a photo of the event.
