My MIL knows what we do every year and she asked about it yesterday, so I'm not sure what she has up her sleeve. I'm hoping she doesn't try to do her own little turkey with just us when we already invite her over. It's frustrating when people make you unnecessarily split your time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-doing-for-american-thanksgiving#post-372699 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 15:47:49 +0000 mrbee 372699@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Honeybee: Ooh nice!</p> <p>5 days?

DH's immediate family and my immediate family have done thanksgiving together for the last 3 years, so it's fun! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-doing-for-american-thanksgiving#post-372085 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 12:33:54 +0000 boiledpnut 372085@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're going to just stay here at home. We might invite FIL over. We'll see. :) I think DH wants to smoke a turkey this year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-doing-for-american-thanksgiving#post-372038 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 12:11:34 +0000 BoogieBea 372038@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We'll be in NY! Think we'll smoke the turkey again this year. We always alternate between making a turducken and smoking it. My husband and I always do the turkey trot thanksgiving morning and we'll get to do that this year after a year off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-doing-for-american-thanksgiving#post-371958 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 11:39:41 +0000 Alivoo01 371958@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: That's so awesome!!!</p> <p>We're going to drive up and spend it with my family in OK. We'll go have traditional Thanksgiving lunch together, then do other things together as a family. Usually scope out the ads for Black Friday while watching football. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-doing-for-american-thanksgiving#post-371948 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 11:36:44 +0000 DpeachLu 371948@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am eating.

It might be hospital turkey or it might be in-laws delivering to the house or it might be DH cooking for the family. We'll see! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-doing-for-american-thanksgiving#post-371941 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 11:35:36 +0000 mrbee 371941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MungBean: Nope...

Do you guys have a costume picked out? I'd love to do that with L!!</p> <p>We will be having the big, traditional dinner with my fam!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-doing-for-american-thanksgiving#post-371916 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 11:28:43 +0000 shopaholic 371916@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're going to Las Vegas as usual. My mom's bday always falls on or w/in a day or two of Thanksgiving and she always picks Vegas. Our "tradition" is buffet lines and Black Friday shopping at the outlet! The husbands are happy to have each other now so they can watch games at the sportsbook! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-doing-for-american-thanksgiving#post-371850 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 11:11:38 +0000 Springtime 371850@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We always watch the Macy's parade and go over to the in laws for a big lunch then watch the cowboys game! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-doing-for-american-thanksgiving#post-371845 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 11:10:43 +0000 Mrs. Pen 371845@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I want to dress Cobi up as a turkey too!!</p> <p>We are going up to my aunts house and celebrating with my dad's side of the family. Then we'll do a smaller gathering with my immediate family at my parents house. :) I love thanksgiving. One of my favorite holidays.</p> <p>My sister and mom have gone mostly paleo - so I'm excited for this thanksgiving especially! I found a paleo pumpkin pie recipe I really want to try. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-doing-for-american-thanksgiving#post-371841 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 11:07:00 +0000 Andrea 371841@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are going to watch the Macy's parade! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-doing-for-american-thanksgiving#post-371837 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 11:05:46 +0000 Meridian 371837@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We usually split the day between our 2 families... it's tricky! Maybe we'll host something that weekend for our friends, hrmm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-doing-for-american-thanksgiving#post-371795 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 10:48:26 +0000 BKCaribBaby 371795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm cooking dinner here in my tiny Brooklyn apartment. I have done Thanksgiving for two years now, and I love making the majority of the meal. It allows me to be a control freak, too. :) One major change this year is the my BIL and SIL will be coming with my niece. She is over 2 years old and has never been to visit us even though they live a 4 hour drive away. I was shocked when they said they were coming because my SIL never has a holiday away from her mother. I don't care how cramped my apartment is; I love the fact that I am going to be able to eat food I know I like, and that I don't have to go to my ILs (We are always there and they come to visit maybe once per year and live 3.5 hours away). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-doing-for-american-thanksgiving#post-371773 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 10:34:26 +0000 wheres_c 371773@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're both foreign so don't usually bother with anything. MIL decided that she wanted to host this year, so we'll be there I guess unless baby comes early. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-doing-for-american-thanksgiving#post-371715 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 10:14:23 +0000 Smurfette 371715@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Heading to my Aunt's house, the whole family is together this year. I can't wait for some fried turkey, mashed potatoes and my grandma's stuffing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-doing-for-american-thanksgiving#post-371678 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 10:03:44 +0000 prettylizy 371678@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There will be snack food and football at our house (or maybe my parents house). We're Canadian but we are also HUGE Lions fans, so T-day is a great day for a little football fun </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-doing-for-american-thanksgiving#post-371675 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 10:01:49 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 371675@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm going to DH's aunt's house. We go there for dinner every year. While the food is cooking everyone decorates their Christmas tree. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-doing-for-american-thanksgiving#post-371665 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 09:59:12 +0000 lovehoneybee 371665@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We always go down to DH's aunt's cabin on the Cheseapeake Bay. It's pretty sacred in our family. Aunt Nan is in Belgium right now but we're told the cabin survived Sandy intact...not sure about the cliffs and beach, though :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-doing-for-american-thanksgiving#post-371644 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 09:50:55 +0000 mrsjyw 371644@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: I hope so! I think the latest doc will let me go is 11/25.... so we may just miss it! Or I've always had this feeling that I'll be in labor on T-day! :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-doing-for-american-thanksgiving#post-371641 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 09:50:01 +0000 mediagirl 371641@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjyw: you're going to be a Mommy at Thanksgiving!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-doing-for-american-thanksgiving#post-371640 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 09:49:46 +0000 mediagirl 371640@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not sure. We will do Thanksgiving dinner but it will either be just us, my parents and us or if any of our friends don't have plans, we'll invite them over. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-doing-for-american-thanksgiving#post-371632 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 09:47:21 +0000 mrsjazz 371632@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are going to DH's grandmother's house in NJ, although I haven't broken the news yet to my mother--this is LOs first turkey day and my mom thinks all the holidays are going to be spent with her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-doing-for-american-thanksgiving#post-371631 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 09:47:05 +0000 mrsjyw 371631@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We usually host! But, not this year-- hopefully we'll be home with our LO and enjoying QT as a new family of 3 (+ 2 furbabies) and maybe our parents! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-doing-for-american-thanksgiving#post-371626 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 09:45:38 +0000 MrsBrewer 371626@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We will probably spend it with both families as usual! DH's family for a huge lunch, and then my family for a huge dinner. By about 7 PM we are normally in a food coma! :-) </p>
