We rotate which family we spend the holiday with. This year it's my family. So we will go to my moms brothers who lives in Valley Springs, CA.
The menu consists of:
Two turkeys (one baked one fried)
Mashed Taters
Stuffing
Cranberry Sauce
Corn
Gravy
Ham
Sweet Potatoes
Many more things that I can't even remember.

Dessert consists of:
My brownies
My Aunts famous chocolate cake (usually she frosts it too soon and it slides)
My mom makes cheesecake, coconut pie, lemon pie, chocolate pie and I think she might try these traditionall pastry rolls my grandma used to make.

Oh, before dinner there is the traditional dip. It's a five layer dip: bean dip, sour cream, avocado dip, cheese and lettuce.

After dinner (and while it's being prepared) the men watch football, the kids play outside and everyone else might play a game. This year we have bananagrams, a fun word game.
I'm sure I'll have to hear the question about why Bruce and I aren't married, when are you going to get married, don't you want to get married and have kids? Blah, blah, blah.
But it will still be LOTS of fun! I'm excited!! I just wish I could bring my doggies with me. But they will stay home with their "cousins".

This year will be my first experience with Black Friday. I don't like shopping in general and only go when necessary and get what I need and I'm done. This year my mom asked if I'd go with her, my sister-in-law and my nieces. So I figured I could do it once in my life. They have the game plan set so I'm going with the flow. I hate crowds but I think I'll handle it (I hope).
