so, if you're a celebrator, what do you have planned for this week and the big turkey day??

we're getting together with some friends and our rabbles to do some crafts, enjoy some grubs and party the day away.
 
we're heading out to visit family wed-sun. will be cooking a big dinner and hanging out. very excited!
 
I think we're going to my mums.. my brother & his gf are coming down from maine for 4 ? days I think.. so hopefully we'll get to hang out with them a bit. family gatherings overwhelm me.. lol..
 
We're just going to the ILs' the next town over. DD will love being able to play with her cousins. I'm glad that I just have to bring the green beans. :)
 
Oh, they are yummy, Amy! I found a recipe online: fresh green beans + onions + bacon. They take forever to make (a lesson I learned the hard way two years ago!!), but are worth the trouble.
 
oh LeeAndra, that sounds fab! would love that recipe if you're up for sharing!!
 
I'm just going to be hanging at home with a few of my boys...maybe 3 of them. My dh will still be in Alaska till Dec 21st. I'm just making a small meal, and of course I'll be making my mom's old fashioned pumpkin pie. Seriously, the best I've ever had. I can barely eat regular old pumpkin pie now. I use the organic canned pumpkin from Trader Joes too. It's so thick and creamy! Delish!!
 
We are going to my mom's. Garret is working as he does most every single holiday so just me and the kids are going. My sister and her family will be there along with my sisters husbands family. lots of food and the kids will be nuts, but it will be nice I think. :) Friday we do the black friday thing overnight...and Saturday is my BIL's surprise 30th bday. :)
 
My mom cooked her Thanksgiving meal on Sunday, so we got to enjoy that already. She has 5 kids - married and what not, so she is nice and does it the Sunday before so that we don't all have to choose where we will go on Thanksgiving! So Thurs will be spent with the in-laws after church until about 5:00. Then my extended family gets together at night at our church gym - we can work off some of the food we ate and also snack on some more! :) Happy Thanksgiving!
 
Sure, Rebecca, it is on the other computer, so I will post it later tonight after I get Monkey tucked into bed. :)

lol mebs yer fancy pumpkin pie would cure me of my pumpkin hatred. ... I can't even stand the smell of pumpkin pie haha. blergh.
 
My Mom and my Sis are coming over and we'll do a craft, and avoid football until my hubby comes home from work, LOL. Hopefully no one will want a new satellite installation on Thanksgiving, just service calls, but you never know about people.
