This is me and Hubby's first Thanksgiving alone. Everybody else in the family will be visiting elsewhere. I'm just making a little Thanksgiving dinner for the two of us.

How about you?
 
I don't know yet. My fiance asked his mom and she didn't know what is going on yet...I don't even know if I will be invited either
 
Kevin is really wanting me to invite his parents.......but if I do, they bring all his sister's kids too. Nothing at all against the kids, but we just don't have the room for our 5 kids, his parents, his sister's 5 kids, and probably his sister too! That's 15 people and we only have seating for 12 if we bring out the extra table :eek:

So it will probably be just us 7 and a big turkey, pie, and all the YUMMY (<---for Renee) sides :D
 
J, Hunter, and I will be having Thanksgiving dinner with my mother and brothers.

I will be doing the cooking and everything will be made from scratch.

ETA: Speaking of cooking that reminds me I still got some tweaking to do with my menu so I can go grocery shopping for the needed items.
 
We will be going to stay with my parents. And then on Thursday we will go to my Nanny & Pappy's for Thanksgiving dinner. Some of my aunt's and uncle's and probably one of my cousin's family will be there and my sister's family. Probably about 14 adults and 4 kids. And thats only half of that side of my family!

It is about 200 miles for us to drive to my parents.
 
I'll be in White Oak, Texas at my grandma's. We've gone there every single year for Christmas for 29 years. This will be my 30th year there. :D
 
We will probably do what we do every year :) Go to a big thanksgiving dinner at Brian's cousins place where the whole family will be.
 
we stopped traveling at thanksgiving years ago--too difficult and we travel at christmas time to my dad's.
So our tradition is a thanksgiving dinner for the five of us, and then we go out to see a movie together as a family. It's quite fun--and we enjoy the day rather than stress over it!

That's what my best friend's family does. I went home with her the first year of law school and we went to see Rent. It was a very peaceful and nice day

it is peaceful--you don't have to worry about anyone else's schedules! It works for us!
 
Ughh... probably not eating hot, delicious food.

My aunt and uncle are having their very dysfunctional, disorganized Thanksgiving again this year. And my mom is having it at our house for the immediate family. My dad wants me to go to my aunt and uncle's since I didn't go last year, but they're having it at the same time my mom is... so I won't be able to eat what my mom makes, unless my dad lets me show up later on my own. My aunt is really bad at doing Thanksgiving (it's so far from traditional it's crazy) so I don't want to touch what she cooks.

So uh, yeah. :p
 
We're going to Aaron's parents' house to eat, then coming home and going into food coma mode and sleeping. LoL
 
My first thanksgiving in Tennessee.. So we invited Travis' Mom over and we're going to do it here(or at her place, we haven't decided yet). I'm looking forward to some goood country style thanksgiving dinner :D
 
What we did last year. Go to my aunts house with the rest of the family. Ack. It gets way overcrowded with wild kids running everywhere that dont listen to their parents or get disciplined. How wonderful. BUT, the food is always to die for. :D

I will be making my own turkey just so we can have some at home. I am not crazy about cooking.
 
I am gonna be at my mom's with about 20-25 other people aka family. :D
LOTS of food.. so that means it will not help my diet process.

LOL! I feel your pain. Whenever we go to Hubby's family's thanksgiving potluck, we stop at McDonald's or Jack in the Box on the way. His family members are atrocious cooks, yet insist on trotting out their "special Thanksgiving recipes". Mushy cornbread stuffing so salty it makes your tongue blister, turkey so dry that it practically falls into crumbles when you cut it, and chunky "giblet gravy" that looks exactly like Alpo in a crock pot. Ugh.
