One of the biggest families on television is gearing up for a super-sized Thanksgiving, according to a new report.

The Duggar family of TLC's 19 Kids and Counting is set to have more than 30 guests at their home this year for the holiday meal. The family is made up of 19 children, from three to 25-years-old. The matriarch of the clan, Michelle Duggar, revealed that she decides what to cook based on who's helping her out in the kitchen.

"Sometimes the variety of favorites is dependent on who wants to come in and help me...We have the whole spread. The whole counter serving line will be filled with food."

One thing that's definitely to be on the counter is "Daddy's Favorite Pumpkin Pie," a traditional favorite for the family. There's at least 15 of them made each year.

Duggar revealed that gratefulness is a major theme in her household this time of year. Each Thanksgiving season the children make turkeys out of construction paper and write one thing they were thankful for on each of the bird's four feathers.

"Gratefulness is realizing God and others are responsible for achievements in my life," Duggar explained. "We would then talk about what we were grateful for from God. Usually these were things like mom, dad, sisters and brothers."

While Thanksgiving is a holiday celebrated in a big way for the Duggars, Michelle's eldest, Josh, won't be joining them this year, as he and his wife Anna spend the holiday with her family. Still, the Duggar house will be full.

"That is five that we will not have with us. But we can definitely fill that space with those who do not have family to be with," Michelle said.
