The year may be almost over, but there's plenty of time to still have some family fun this month.
No matter what, we all have a family!
From our parents, grandparents, siblings and extended family to our spouse, children and grandchildren of our own in later life. With all of its imperfections and defects, family continues to play an important role throughout the course of one's life.
This month, celebrate being thankful and family togetherness with some of these fun family activities that may strengthen family bonding. (List ideas comprised from blog, Tiny Beans)
