Thanksgiving plans?

So what is everyone doing for Thanksgiving? What types of things are on the menu? Going anywhere?

We will be hosting Thanksgiving at home this year! The totally awesome amazing runnergirl is coming over, along with another friend. Our menu will be pretty traditional--turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, stuffing, green bean casserole, and a few other things. I'm excited--should be a fun day!

We are doing Thanksgiving with the ILs this year. Just the 5 of us (actually 4.5 since M doesn't eat very much). Since we are doing a small Thanksgiving MIL didn't want to actually cook a whole turkey so she is picking up turkey breast from Rudy's (not my first choice but oh well). We are doing a couple of sides: green bean casserole, green rice, dressing, and sweet potates. We will be having a sugar free and a regular pumpkin pie (FIL is diabetic).

We'll be headed up to H's parents' house in Little Rock after work tomorrow. I've been told I'm in charge of mashed potatoes and a pie. I started an apple blackberry pie with white cheddar crust last night - here's hoping it turns out okay, considering it's my first time to ever bake a pie. I guess we'll just buy the stuff for mashed potatoes and I'll make them on the day of. MIL is a fantastic cook, so I'm a little (a lot) intimidated. Other than that, we'll have the traditional turkey, dressing, etc.

Yay Thanksgiving! I intend to begin the day with the Thanksgiving parade, which is one of my very favorite things. Then we'll spend Thanksgiving lunch with my folks, because my dad has to work in the evening. Thanksgiving dinner with be with one portion of the in-laws. Then, the next day we'll hang out by ourselves and put up the Christmas tree and maybe write our Christmas letter for the Christmas cards, like a pair of Christmas dorks. I adore this time of year.

I will be running the Turkey Trot in the morning, having brunch with my mom and step dad and then lugging my adorable children to Ginger's house for some amazing dinner. I am pumped to get to spend it with so many people that I love. Also, Ginger and Mr. Ginger are amazing cooks. Bringing the fat pants.

We will be eating WAY too many Thanksgiving meals.

Thursday, we'll go to H's family's for lunch. Then a double date thanksgiving dinner that night. Friday, we'll go to my grandparents' for lunch. And Saturday we'll be at good ole' Golden Corral for Thanksgiving with my other grandparents' side.

DH is making a pumpkin caramel cheesecake for the lunch Thursday. I'm pretty excited about that. He made a caramel cheesecake over the weekend for his brother's b-day and it was amazing! I might try to talk him into making a chocolate chip cheesecake (my fav) to take to our double date thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving is also DH's birthday. He doesn't care much for traditional turkey day food and we aren't hosting this year so I asked him what he wanted for dinner. He requested sushi so that is what we are having!

We're spending it in Dallas. We might spend Thanksgiving with some old family friends who live on the outskirts of Dallas, but that's not set in stone just yet. This year will be super low key for us - no family anywhere near us, my dad's still overseas, and H was supposed to come home, but he's in training and can't come home.

My uncle is hosting this year, so we're going down to rural southern OK to see the fam. It will be a smaller group than usual, likely. I'm bringing squash casserole.

Saturday we're hosting "Friendsgiving" here and eating Italian food -- gnocchi with beef ragu, antipasto, roasted Tuscan lemon chicken, roasted asparagus, tiramisu, caramel macchiatto cheesecake, and lots of wine (friends are bringing part of this). I'm really looking forward to this!

Tomorrow we're going to DH's Grandma's first. Lunch will be around noon but hopefully we can get there a little early. Lunch there is pretty traditional with lots of casseroles thrown in. I'm making deviled eggs, potato casserole, and better than sex cake to take. Once we leave there we'll go to my mom and step-dad's to have Thanksgiving dinner with them and my sister (and possibly her bf). We'll have the traditional stuff there--turkey, dressing, potatoes, corn, gravy, rolls, and pie (my mom's Dutch apple pie is to die for!). Then we'll more than likely all take a nap, eat some more, and head home. Good times!

DH is going hunting Friday, so I'll probably spend the day at home. We'll probably spend the weekend just the 3 of us, enjoying a rare weekend that DH is off work!

We were going to host Thanksgiving here and have my aunt and 3 cousins over, but it's my uncle's weekend with them and we just ran out of weekends to have it. I'm a little bummed--I was looking forward to having them over and cooking Thanksgiving dinner for the first time. DH was excited because I bought a spiral cut honey glazed ham for the occassion--guess we'll have to save it for Christmas!!
