Thanksgiving plans?
What are your plans? Where are you going and what are you cooking?
Re: Thanksgiving plans?
Granted, I've yet to tell DH this, but my plan is:
DH is going to his brother's around 1pm and coming home about 5pm. I'm staying home and making a turkey. My parents and sister are coming over around 5.

On Thanksgiving morning, I'm walking the Turkey Trot with the BF and a few other friends.
Then, my family (who live local), are coming to my house to join us for dinner. Different family members (my mom, my brother, brother's wife) keep telling me they're bringing (additional) different things, and at this rate we'll have enough food to feed my entire street.

we are hosting at our casa and Im very excited. FIL is driving in for a weekend visit and DH is very excited, he has only visited once in the 3yrs Ive known DH. My family is in town and will be coming over as well.
We are cooking a cajun turkey and honey ham, and everyone else invited has been asked to bring potluck.
Hopefully the weather will cooperate and we can set up a game of washers in the backyard, light a fire in the pit, and watch some football. All that and a few adult beverages to smooth out the bumpy family edges and it will be a great day!

We are having T-day here at either my house or the IL's. It'll be a last minute decision. We only live a couple blocks apart so it's not a big deal. If we get a new kitchen table we will probably host. Where ever we eat I'm doing the turkey.
DH's parents and sister are on their way to austin right now. On Thanksgiving we're going to just ear "normally" and then go to the UT game. On Friday morning, we're all driving to San Antonio to see his extended family to do Thanksgiving on Friday. They were all so nice and agreed to move the festivities so we could all be together.
I won't be allowed to bring anything because they have all their family recipes that they won't sway from... which upsets me a little bit that I'm not "included" but not enough to say anything. I'll just show up and eat - which isn't so bad, I guess.

A journey of building the dream.
We are staying here and I am cooking a smaller T'giving dinner for the two of us. I am making a chocolate mousse pie from scratch! This should be interesting...
ETA my menu:
turkey breast and gravy
stuffing
green beans
cranberry sauce
roasted sweet potatoes
chocolate pie
Can I come to your house? It sounds so pleasant. The cracks are already coming through on my plans. I may have to start drinking early. Like noon, today.
would it make you feel better if i told you i had a headache from overdrinking rum the second to last day we were there? :-) probably not, huh.
Nope. Though you did miss a great party at my house.
