For a family of four - my husband and me plus 2 children, ages 11 and 7:
Turkey Mashed potatoes Stuffing Gravy Roasted brussel sprouts Apple pie & pumpkin pie for dessert. I'm not even from this country, but my children (and husband) like to celebrate Thanksgiving. I usually offer many more choices buy since I'm not hosting this year... So, it this good enough to keep with the traditional Thanksgiving dinner? |

I think it's great! If am just like you except my kids are 12 and 9 (and I'm American), and I plan on just doing these exact things plus rolls. Although I'm actually doing chicken instead. 
I love the way you're thinking about this. |

| This is pretty much my plan, but I add rolls. Sounds great to me! |

| I think it sounds great! My kids would revolt if I left sweet potatoes off the menu, but I know not everyone cares about sweet potatoes. If your family doesn't, I wouldn't include them just for 'tradition'. |

| Cranberry sauce if the family likes it. |

This. I’d add cranberry sauce cause we really love it, but if you don’t like it, then it’s perfect. I love this recipe by the way, but do half the sugar:

| Do NOT put anything in cranberry sauce besides cranberries, some water, and some sugar (I put in sugar to taste). No need, no point. |

| We do sautéed corn and rolls, but otherwise this is our usual menu. Whenever I add more, no one wants it anyway. Oh, and a spinach salad. |
