    Thanksgiving

    So what is everyone doing for Thanksgiving? What kinds of foods do you like to eat on Thanksgiving?? My mom is making ham, turkey, baked beans, coleslaw and potato salad. Then my great-aunt is coming and she's bringing some pies and the dressing. Her granddaughters and daughter are also comin and then my brother's new gf is comin...plus our family will be here...so there will be more people here this time than last. So what are you guys doing?

    I will make cookies - probably soft pumpkin cookies with cream cheese frosting, toll house, and turkey-shaped shortbread cookies, and I don;t know what else, I have not yet heard from the hostess (Paul's sister) as to what I should bring! We're going to their house in New Hampshire for Thanksgiving, and her kitty Sophi loves the bits of turkey she gets to share!

    well... I don't know the exact menu but it usually consists of turkey, mash taters, green bean casserole, creamed corn, stuffing... the usual stuff and then some pies for dessert and I REAAAAAAAAAAAAALLY hope Brians cousin makes her famoud chocolate mousse with ritz cracker crust dessert cause it is to DIE for.

    Thanksgiving dinner is always held at Brians cousins house. His aunt and uncles, his cousins and their kids and Brian and I and Hannah and then his cousins wifes family all get together. It's A LOT of fun




    R.I.P my dear Sweet Teddy. You will be missed forever. We love you.

    This year we are going to my uncles house in Valley Springs, CA. We usually have the basic turkey dinner (one baked turkey and a deep fried one). However, I eat ham, mashed taters, gravy, corn and rolls. We usually have more desserts than we do food dishes. Which is just fine with me!!!
    After dinner several of us sit around and play games for hours. I can't stay too late this year because for the first time I am going to go shopping on Black Friday. My mom, SIL and nieces want to leave around 6am. Should be interesting.

    I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday!
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    We will be having Tofurky (we are vegetarians, but it's very delicious so I'd recommend it to anyone), with potatoes, carrots, and onions. Plus probably some stuffing, gravy, salad, and dinner rolls. I am going to make an apple pie and we will probably get pumpkin pie, too. It's going to be a lot of food for only 3 adults and a baby (it's just us and my brother this year). Oh well, Thanksgiving leftovers are always good!

    I hope everyone has a great holiday.
