So... what are your Thanksgiving Plans?

[MamaBee]

I'm at Disneyworld :thumbup: There are 12 of us - our family of five, my in-laws, and BIL with his family. Our thanksgiving dinner will be at the Grand Floridian, 1900 Park Fare.

Okay - now you have me totally jealous!!

There will be 19 of us here tomorrow. There are 8 in our family, my mom and dad, my sis, bil, and their new first born, then our dear friends and there 4 kiddos. We split up the meal - but the spread is mostly traditional.
Ham (everyone likes ham but only some like turkey), cornbread dressing, candied yams, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, rolls, pink stuff, corn, glazed carrots, pecan pie, chocolate pie, layered cream cheese dessert, praline strips, salsa, and cheese dip. Lol. We'll have leftovers for a day or two. Hahaha.

Board games and maybe we'll stream the score for the Cowboys game (since we are Texan and that is sorta a requirement)

I want to come to your house!

Stuffing is my biggest issue, its so different from the dressing i grew up with.


QUOTE=MamaBee;1062124]hahaha... yeah, then mine isn't that "yankee" of a meal... but I can see that - my hubby's family is totally that way - the first year DH's step mom came to the US (she is Russian), she didn't want turkey so she made pork chops with a potato, boiled cabbage, and some crazy salad with 27 ingrediants (I wasn't there - but I bet it was that horrible dish she makes with boiled eggs and herring :blink Then hubby took care of thanksgiving after that until he met me... but he was all about - turkey, mashed potatos, stove top stuffing, and pie and a boat load of gravy... I have about 14 different side dishes (no boxed stuff here), three kinds of pie and a plates of other sweets for desert (the desert is all my mom - she loves to bake - I didn't inherit that gene)... and that is all after the huge table of apps. :thumbup: I love this holiday!![/QUOTE]

Ok good! I was really wondering. I always fed all my military friends too when i was in the service.

Vanessa,

I'm from Massachusetts - about as "Yankee" as it gets - and our Thanksgiving dinners were always HUGE. Turkey, at least one kind of stuffing, sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, gravy, 4 or 5 kinds of vegetables, rolls, salad, both kinds of cranberry sauce, macaroni and cheese, and several desserts.

We live in Virginia now and I typically make Turkey, stuffing, gravy, potatoes, corn casserole, rolls and cheesecake (although I forgot the rolls this year). But that's only because there are only four of us and it would be crazy to make a ton of food that most of my family wouldn't eat anyway because they don't like vegetables.

Kinda funny that we're having a "Yankee" Thanksgiving dinner in Virginia and didn't when I was growing up in Mass.

- not sure it's a good idea to have a 14 month old sit outside in 32 degree weather for a few hours!

We took DS2 to the Iditarod start at 6 months. 20ish degrees for 3 or 4 hours...

Just bundle him up and have fun!

We are home this year. Every other year we meet up somewhere with my SIL and her family who live in PA. We pick a place somewhere in the middle and meet there. Last year it was Nashville.

On the years we are home, we host. My mom, two brothers and nephew are the only ones who come, so that just makes 8 of us. Today everyone ate and then cleared out before 3. I enjoy them, but it is kind of nice to be able to just laze around my clean house today, enjoying the fall decorations one more day before I put them away.
