I am so excited to have our first major holiday here with our little family. It started out that we were not going to travel but my sister was going come into town to spend the weekend with us. She has done this before, most recently when I was pregnant with Eleanor. (Vince's comment about a turkey under my shirt was pretty funny and true.) Now this year's party includes grandmas, aunts, uncles, cousins -- we are going to have a huge houseful of family -- the perfect way to celebrate our thankfulness.
As the gathering has grown, I have decided that I need to be at least a little bit organized in order to have enough food on the table to feed everyone. I've been thinking that I'll just put together the menu here on the blog and any of you who are coming can tell me what I've missed or if there is something you can't live without on Turkey Day.
These are my thoughts:
** Turkey (of course)
** Mashed potatoes, my favorite
** Green bean casserole, for Vince
** Broccoli casserole, a family tradition on our side (with Cheese Whiz - yum!)
** Cranberries, gotta have 'em
** Stuffing, another "must have"
** Pies: cherry, berry and pumpkin -- with real whipped cream - double yum!!
What else? Maybe a squash? Bread? Wine?
