Re: Thanksgiving
Do you have any plans? Yep! We host dinner for my IL's, then we head to my family's side for dessert in the evening.
What is your favorite Thanksgiving food? Good question! I think mashed potatoes.
Do you go Black Friday shopping? If I do any, it will be online because I have to work :-( I always loved going shopping that day with my mom, but I haven't been able to go in 4 years because of work. Makes me kind of sad.
Do you have any plans? We'll be going to my brother's house & Ben's parents house. Not sure in which order.
What is your favorite Thanksgiving food? Green bean casserole! Mashed potatoes is a close second!
Do you go Black Friday shopping? I do but not the way everyone else does. I hit the stores about mid-afternoon. There is still plenty of deals to be had then. If there is something I really want I may go in the morning but no earlier then 8am. LOL!
Do you have any plans? Early dinner w/Andy's extended family, late dinner with my family on the big day. Then we're going to Traverse City with friends for the long weekend to check out some breweries and wineries. And if my husband has his way, he'll also be checking out the casino.
What is your favorite Thanksgiving food? I think stuffing, partly because this is the only time of year we eat it. I also love sweet potatoes and apple pie.
Do you go Black Friday shopping? I did last year for the first time but don't plan on it this year.
Do you have any plans? H's family is coming to our house for like the 4th year in a row. BIL/SIL are staying with us, and SIL is helping me cook. We'll let the guys take care of the baby!
What is your favorite Thanksgiving food? Homemade stuffing, hands down!!
Do you go Black Friday shopping? No. But I'm thinking this year I might just for something specific if the price is right. I need to figure out what I want to buy and look for Black Friday ads.

hell to the no
Do you have any plans? - Most likely we'll have dinner with my extended family in the early afternoon, and then dinner with the IL's later in the day.
What is your favorite Thanksgiving food? - Stuffing.
Do you go Black Friday shopping? - Usually a little bit, but I'm always up north where there isn't much shopping options and the crowds aren't nearly as crazy as the bigger cities.
What is your favorite Thanksgiving food? It's a toss up between the potatoes and the rolls, I'm a carbs girl.
Do you go Black Friday shopping? It depends on the year/deal. I haven't been in awhile, and won't go unless it's a really, really good deal, or something I really need.
Do you have any plans? Luckily we have families that adjust and work around busy schedules so we can see everyone - the bad side is that it makes a very, very long week. We start with Thanksgiving dinner at my grandparents' house on Sunday. On actual Thanksgiving, we have dinner with my fianc?'s side of the family quickly before going to Thanksgiving Bingo at night. Because everyone's thinking "Bingo? Wha...?" - my family has a tradition of playing Bingo every year on Thanksgiving. Everyone brings white elephant gifts and as you get bingos you receive prizes - they are usually small like a candy bar or a small gift, but it's fun none-the-less. This will actually be Paul and I's first Thanksgiving not living at home so we will probably enjoy a quiet Thanksgiving breakfast and/or lunch before heading to other family get-togethers.
What is your favorite Thanksgiving food? One of my favorite Thanksgiving foods is a pumpkin cheesecake dessert that I make - it's one of Paul's faves, too. After that it would probably be my grandma's apple crisp (I love desserts). She makes it a special way: with pink sprinkles on top. I have always loved her apple crisp (complete with sprinkles) since I was a little girl.
Do you go Black Friday shopping? Definitely not. I hate the crowds with a passion (they make me nervous, people drive like idiots, and people go after deals like it's life-or-death). I sometimes have a friend that is hell-bent on going, and I tell them what I want and they pick it up if they will be there anyway.
