I have been hosting thanksgiving for about 25 years the whole crew comes about 30-40 people,everyone brings a dish from veggies to salads and I make turkey,a goose that the boys get every year,usually a deer roast ,scalloped corn and a celery hotdish,baked beans, stuffing, sweet potatoes,mashed potatoes,gravy,cranberries and all the pies 3 pumpkin ,2 cherry and Ethan (one of my boys)makes 2 french silk pies and a jello dish with friut,cant forget the homemade buns.It is alot of work and is not cheap but I love it.We always have wine and drinks also for those who want it.
Our house is not that big so we all cram in some sit on the floor etc.
Hopefully it will be nice outside this year and the kids can go outside for awhile and play,they can really get loud,then us adults cannot talk over all teh noise and running they want to do.We usually have a room for them to go in with movies toys games etc..But they still end up out with us!!
I have already started planning for it myself. |
