So what is everyone doing?! We are going to DH's mothers house and then on Saturday we are having family over who can't make it on the actual day. I am so excited for all the FOOD! We are having turkey, homemade gravy, mashed potatoes, etc. i am drooling just thinking about it. What are you all doing?

Wow Lyz, good luck!

We are visiting my Dad & his GF on Wednesday, then dinner with Mom on Thursday. Good thing my in-laws care more about Chinese New Year than American holidays.

To be honest i'm not sure what is going to happen on thanksgiving. His family is not celebrating it until that saturday because of work schedules. DH may actually have to work (but may get triple time which would rock) and my mom has to work so I don't know if she's going to want to go out to eat.

We are going to St. Louis to be with my family. We always have to travel for holidays because neither of our families live here. I love seeing our families but I hate having to travel EVERY holiday. Next summer my fam is moving here to Nashville, and now that we will have a child, I am insisting on staying home for Christmas. I am SO looking forward to that! So here's to my last holiday season with crazy traveling!

Thursday with my family, the full thanksgiving spread. Friday with B's mom and her BF, and BIL, SIL, niece and nephew, ham and stuff. Saturday with B's dad & step mom and the rest of the family non traditional stuff. I am not a big thanksgiving food fan at all. So i'm just hoping not to get too fat over the three day eat a thon b/c 6week PP check is the following monday and i wanted to be back at pre-preg weight I'm currently 1.5 lbs away so i'll have motivation to be good!

Going to my dad's for Thanksgiving. It's pretty low key, just us, dad, step-mom, brother, sister and grandpa.

It's so relaxing!

In the early afternoon, we will have Thanksgiving with my Mom & Step Dad...it's a nice, RELAXING way to start the day.

I will be making twice baked potato casserole and magic cookie bars to take to the IL's house later that evening. It's a MAD HOUSE over there!! About 30 people cramped in a small space

HOWEVER, for the FIRST time since 2006 I can HONESTLY say that I'm looking forward to Thanksgiving because we are going to announce our pregnancy to DH's siblings/Aunts/Uncles (MIL & FIL already know!)

I can't wait to share the news!

I make mine without coconut because DH doesn't like it! They are so simple and super yummy!

We'll be heading to Maine Thursday morning and leaving early Saturday to head back for his family who is having a party to welcome home a cousin who just returned yesterday from a year in Afghanistan. Thanksgiving should be interesting with the whole GD thing...

Happy Thanksgiving to you all. We celebrate Thanksgiving in October so we don't have any big plans - except - that is my last day of work

I know, I'm crazy having that many people but DHs family is HUGE! We run around like crazy on Christmas that we like to have everyone here so I don't have to leave the house for a holiday, for once

We are going to visit my parents this Thanksgiving. My parents have gotten rid of most of their furniture, so the meal will be at my ex-sister in law's house. I am super excited to see her and my three nephews!

My mom, sister and BIL are here... along with the four of us. My MIL and FIL were supposed to come over but there might be bad weather tomorrow so they might not make it. Just my little family eating good food
