Thanksgiving tables from Eagles around the country
“I am thankful for my family, Tom [Brady] and Bill [Belichick].”
We gathered some pictures of BC students’ Thanksgiving tables and asked them: What are you thankful for? And what are some treasured family traditions?

“We always go for a family run in the morning and we eat prime rib instead of turkey because we like our steak. We always say grace before we eat, too.

Growing up with each other has made us all so much closer because we go through it all together as one big family would.”
