Mealplan Monday #86 and the tale of a tablecloth

I'm trying to keep things simple with Thanksgiving and use things I already have. 
Super simple!

Monday - Bacon Pancakes, hot chocolate
Tuesday - Mexican Chili Chicken Lasagna, salad
Wednesday - Take Out/Turkey Day prep
Thursday - Turkey and Cornbread dressing, gravy, Orange Cranberry Sauce, Green Bean Casserole, Sweet Potatoes, Corn Casserole, Bourbon Orange Pecan Pie, Pumpkin Pie Dump Cake, wine
Friday - Turkey Soup, plus smoked brisket for our tree trimmin' lunch!
Saturday - Leftovers or some other simple dinner- Christmas Parade Day!
Sunday - Stouffer's, corn

 This year, there's just the six of us and I don't plan on cooking as much food as last time. Plus, there's the Turkey Trot, so I am sticking with the tried-and-true dishes we love.
I found a simple cream tablecloth at a thrift store and spread it out to see how it looks.  Too long, unless we needed to put in an extra leaf or two, which we won't this year.
After I eye-balled it, I trimmed off the excess tablecloth.  Then I stitched a very tight hem along all of the edges so they would all match.
 
  
The trimmed off fabric will go directly to my scraps box and be put to good use.
