Nice to see you Christina! Hope you had a great holiday!

I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving.

Hi all! So what are your plans for Thanksgiving this week? I can't believe how fast this year is flying by! Mom and I our going to our cousin's in-laws house. We've been doing that every year for the last 5-6 years. I miss my mom's cooking though; but she doesn't want to cook for just the two of us! My best friend is so lucky...she's spending it in NYC with her daughter and her family. That's where I'd love to be! That's my favorite city and I haven't been there for years. I love going there during the holiday season...and I would love to see the Macy's parade in person someday! The good news is, I think I'm going to get to go for my birthday in January! We have family nearby and love meeting at Rosie O'Grady's for MILK AND COOKIES.

If only my friend can sneak me into her suitcase! It'll be a great Thanksgiving though. I'll be with loved ones and that's what truly counts.

One thing I'm thankful for is finding this board! You guys are terrific!

I have Thanksgiving, Christmas, and either Christmas Eve or the day after Christmas this year (depends on when everyone can make it here). The trials of being the oldest daughter-in-law. Honestly, I love it. My oldest will be here for Christmas day with his wife, and it will be nice to catch up. I haven't seen him for a couple of months.

We are having Thanksgiving with my dad's side of the family at our house this year. Thanksgiving is the one day a year that I don't feel bad about how much I eat because all of the food is always so good! My favorite part of the meal is the stuffing my grandma makes every year.

For Christmas, we go to my cousin's house in Massachusetts for a family party with my mom's side of the family the weekend before Christmas, and on Christmas Day we have dinner at my grandparent's house with my dad's side of the family. I always look forward to the family party in Massachusetts, I used to be close with those cousins but I hardly see them anymore! I haven't seen Michael since last Christmas and I saw Dan for a couple of days at the beginning of September. Usually I don't see him at that time of year.

We are going to go to Ohio for Thanksgiving. This will be our first Thanksgiving without Kara since she was born. She decided to go to Connecticut to spend her break with her boyfriend's family.

Nathan is home for the week. So its just the four of us this year. Next year we will be including his new wife! Wedding date is July 27th.
The weather has been mild/warm. Nights have been cooler so we are hoping to sit outside around our chiminea and roast marshmellows on Thanksgiving night. (if we have room in our tummys for anything else.)
Hope you all enjoy a wonderful Thanksgiving! I am so thankful for you all and the forum we have helped to create.
Say a little prayer for those of us that work retail. I'm about to experience it first hand this year.

happy Thanksgiving Day to all o f my forum friends in America. I will be thinking of all of you on Thursday. I pray that God will bless each of you and keep you safe as/if you travel and give you a wonderful holiday with family and friends.

I will be leaving out tomorrow afternoon, headed for Arkansas. Will have Thanksgiving with my 2 boys and former in laws. We hope to Skype with Jake. He works nights in Afghanistan and the time difference is 9 1/2 hours....so it will be fun hooking up with him.....I'm not going to stay as long as I would like, because Cain (boys dog) has separation anxiety and not sure what he would do with me gone longer than one night.....I can only imagine him sitting on the deck howling and bawling all night.....I pray everyone has a good time with family and friends. I know I will, just wish Jake was going to be there...

This cracks me up.

That's what I'd like to know!

I will be working till 8:30. This new guy that does our schedules is a real jerk. He picks on me all the time and gives me all the lousy hours. Grr. I will just have to make the best of it.

This whole year has flown by. I will be going to my brother and sister-in-law's house for dinner.

Going to the movies. eating later on. Just watch some tv, browse online.

Julie, sounds like you have some nice plans ahead! Enjoy going to your cousin's house!

Lori, I am so sorry you'll be missing Kara this year...I can imagine how that hurts.


Cheryl, I love that meme ( ) and hope all goes well hosting T-Day this year. I am hosting twice myself....my parents tomorrow, and then on Sunday Bill's family. Not sure how I managed to get myself into this mess---it sounded like a good idea at the time! In between those two gatherings, I need to decorate the house for Christmas!!

Gin, I hope you enjoy your time with Nathan home! I know how wonderful it is when they are home, and Nathan is a heck of a lot farther away than Brendan. He just got home today...feels so good.


Marilyn, thank you for those lovely heartfelt Thanksgiving wishes.

Rhonda, I know your heart is heavy. I hope you can connect with Jake! Glad you will be with your other boys.

Beckie, that stinks. I can relate...my hubby has to be to work by 11:00. Which means he'll need to sleep through part of Thanksgiving, to prepare for his 12 hour shift. But I'm trying to just be thankful that he has a job. I hope you can still find a way to enjoy the holiday.


Happy Thanksgiving Shell!

Melissa, hope you have fun at the movies! I went tonight and got it out of the way.


To all my other prairie pals, Happy Thanksgiving! I think it goes without saying that I am thankful for this wonderful forum.

Were hosting this year, and some of Mom's side of the family is coming. I'm in charge of the mashed potatos this year. Other than that i just have to enjoy the Tofurkey!

We are going to my cousin's house tomorrow & we are not having dinner until 5:30. It's madness. We normally have a noon meal. Her father just passed away in September so I think the holidays will be a little sad for us this year. I'm looking forward to getting Dean a Furby & I really hope I don't regret it. (that thing could get annoying) If I'm able to get one at Wal-Mart. Then going to Des Moines for Beauty & the Beast & Zombie Burger!

I truly hope you all have a wonderful day, I too am thankful to have found this group

Saying Happy Thanksgiving to y'all!
