This year, instead of travelling anywhere, we decided to just stay home and have the kids here to celebrate Thanksgiving. It’s nice to just not get on the roads, drive 2 hours, eat, hang out and then drive back another 2 hours.
Having said that, my daughter, boyfriend, grandaughter are having to drive maybe an hour to come to my house. They’re young and they will have many years later in life to decided to not going anywhere…
My 21 year old son, will have to drive 2 hours but he’s single and he can stay the night as we have a guest bedroom (used to be my daughter’s room – hope he likes Pepto pink!)
My 23 year old son and 15 year old sons live in the house so they will just have to leave their rooms (that is a harder decision for them than you think).
We are not having a turkey this year (we always have one) so I’m cooking a ham instead. I’ve already picked up fresh Brussels sprouts for my roasted sprouts, garlic and bacon (yes, Dustin, you still have to come!) and my daughter must be making personal pies for everyone, as she group texted us all asking what kind we like. I always have LaSueur peas, there will probably be a potato something, butter carrots, Stove Top stuffing (because we love it and it’s so easy, I can make that after everything else is done), and I’m not sure what else… Ideas? Suggestions? Recipes? Shoot me a message on FB or email me at sfoxx@1057kokz.com.
