My family lives on the other coast so we make it a longer trip. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whose-side-are-you-spending-thanksgiving-with/page/2#post-405444 Sun, 18 Nov 2012 22:02:20 +0000 Springtime 405444@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We usually do my moms then his parents later that day. But my mom is not cooking this year, so just DH's family. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whose-side-are-you-spending-thanksgiving-with#post-405431 Sun, 18 Nov 2012 21:46:46 +0000 mango.sprays 405431@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH is going to his parents', but I'm working a double on Thursday so I'm skipping it completely :-/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whose-side-are-you-spending-thanksgiving-with#post-405240 Sun, 18 Nov 2012 18:38:10 +0000 Mrs. J 405240@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are doing turkey lunch at his parents' house, then ravioli dinner at my parents' with his family and my mom's, and then brunch on Friday with my dad's family because they cannot make it on Thursday. There will be 37 or so for ravioli! I think they are going to have to roll me home after all that food. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whose-side-are-you-spending-thanksgiving-with#post-405234 Sun, 18 Nov 2012 18:34:15 +0000 MusicaV 405234@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both. We have three 1+ hr drives with our 9 week old. My sister is in town so we have to/want to go to my family's, and not showing up to DH's family would be a horrible insult, even though they will all see him at his baptism the following week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whose-side-are-you-spending-thanksgiving-with#post-405229 Sun, 18 Nov 2012 18:30:19 +0000 lemong 405229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>His, but we've never spent it with his family since we hate flying around Thanksgiving and I only get one day off. But since I'm still on maternity leave, we decided to fly out a week early with LO. Looking forward to some turkey!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whose-side-are-you-spending-thanksgiving-with#post-405225 Sun, 18 Nov 2012 18:21:14 +0000 Laneybugsmommy 405225@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We'll be spending Thanksgiving day with my family. They'll watch our daughter for us that evening so we can black friday shop and then we'll pick her up Friday morning and head to my husband's parent's house for dinner with them. They moved their Thanksgiving to Friday to accommodate some out of town guests. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whose-side-are-you-spending-thanksgiving-with#post-405219 Sun, 18 Nov 2012 18:18:30 +0000 mrskc 405219@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>His side. It's his turn this year. My family decided to move Thanksgiving to Friday though so we get to spend it with both! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whose-side-are-you-spending-thanksgiving-with#post-405210 Sun, 18 Nov 2012 18:14:54 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 405210@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>His side. It'll be us, his aunt &amp; uncle, two cousins, and his brother. That's the only family we have in the state. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whose-side-are-you-spending-thanksgiving-with#post-405187 Sun, 18 Nov 2012 17:55:29 +0000 mamabolt 405187@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>His side this year! Over the last few years we've done his side, my side, hosted both sides, and his side again. I'm nervous about driving 4+hours with an infant this year though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whose-side-are-you-spending-thanksgiving-with#post-405178 Sun, 18 Nov 2012 17:49:47 +0000 doodlepoodle 405178@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both, but I didn't vote in the poll because we have hosted Thanksgiving for both sides of our families for the last 4 years, it's great that we don't have to drive anywhere or deal with family drama of who gets us for what meal and that makes me happy!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whose-side-are-you-spending-thanksgiving-with#post-405163 Sun, 18 Nov 2012 17:41:01 +0000 MrsH 405163@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We usually jump from house to house but this year we are spending it with my family. yay! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whose-side-are-you-spending-thanksgiving-with#post-405159 Sun, 18 Nov 2012 17:38:19 +0000 SleepyMonkey 405159@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine! We are already staying at my parents' house temporarily so its easier this way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whose-side-are-you-spending-thanksgiving-with#post-405140 Sun, 18 Nov 2012 17:10:02 +0000 DigAPony 405140@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're spending the weekend with my husband's family. It's a seven hour drive, whereas my family is a plane ride away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whose-side-are-you-spending-thanksgiving-with#post-405139 Sun, 18 Nov 2012 17:08:57 +0000 MrsTiz 405139@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both. His family at 11, mine at 3. Same for Christmas </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whose-side-are-you-spending-thanksgiving-with#post-405138 Sun, 18 Nov 2012 17:08:08 +0000 BelugaBean 405138@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We usually do both on Thanksgiving day. This year since we don't want to try to do too much at once to avoid stressing LO out so we're doing Wednesday with my dad, Thursday with his immediate family, and Friday with my mom and brother. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whose-side-are-you-spending-thanksgiving-with#post-405129 Sun, 18 Nov 2012 16:57:52 +0000 ScarletJwl 405129@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both of our immediate families are pretty far away, and in past years we have visited them for Christmas. Technically, we spend Thanksgiving day with my side, because we go to my great Aunt's house since they are the only family nearby. This year we are also going to DH's uncle's house about 2 hours away on Friday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whose-side-are-you-spending-thanksgiving-with#post-405125 Sun, 18 Nov 2012 16:55:14 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 405125@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>House jumping. </p> <p>One of then reasons the holidays stress me out... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whose-side-are-you-spending-thanksgiving-with#post-405098 Sun, 18 Nov 2012 16:34:18 +0000 Ash 405098@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>His side! My family is 3hrs away and since I work Wednesday day and Thursday night, I won't be making the trek "home". </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whose-side-are-you-spending-thanksgiving-with#post-405090 Sun, 18 Nov 2012 16:27:22 +0000 Weagle 405090@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually my parents come to us, but this year they aren't. We're celebrating with friends. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whose-side-are-you-spending-thanksgiving-with#post-405086 Sun, 18 Nov 2012 16:21:04 +0000 Honeybee 405086@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually we're on our own but this year we're going to my parents' house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whose-side-are-you-spending-thanksgiving-with#post-405072 Sun, 18 Nov 2012 16:00:20 +0000 tororojo 405072@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine! Last year we were with DH's...actually we usually stick w/his family on actual holidays since mine tends to shift dates around and celebrate afterward. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whose-side-are-you-spending-thanksgiving-with#post-405062 Sun, 18 Nov 2012 15:38:40 +0000 oliviaoblivia 405062@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Neither. :(<br /> We always spend it with my side because DH is Canadian but this year my cousin is getting married two days later so my whole family is at the wedding. It's too far/too late for me to fly so I'm stuck in Canada with no turkey dinner. Boo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whose-side-are-you-spending-thanksgiving-with#post-405036 Sun, 18 Nov 2012 15:24:14 +0000 Minnie_Girl 405036@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both. I won't be seeing as many family members/cousins as I normally do, which I'm pretty bummed about. But we will be spending time with immediate family. </p> <p>We're hosting DH's family in our new house for the first time! *gulp* That will be fun, and nerve-wracking, especially at 9 months pregnant!</p> <p>My mom is also having a get-together a few days after Thanksgiving. Unfortunately, she just found out she has mono :( So we'll see how that pans out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whose-side-are-you-spending-thanksgiving-with#post-405025 Sun, 18 Nov 2012 15:14:50 +0000 MediaNaranja 405025@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We will be spending Thanksgiving with my cousin and his wife &amp; baby girl. They will probably invite some of their friends as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whose-side-are-you-spending-thanksgiving-with#post-405022 Sun, 18 Nov 2012 15:13:07 +0000 brownie 405022@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With my brother's wife's family (her parents, siblings, nieces and nephews) and my mother. So a little strange but not bad. It's only 6 hours from home though I prefer doing my own thing at home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whose-side-are-you-spending-thanksgiving-with#post-405021 Sun, 18 Nov 2012 15:12:12 +0000 MamaMoose 405021@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just us this year. With the possibility of my mom joining us : ) I'm due a week from today and mom will come when the baby comes so who knows! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whose-side-are-you-spending-thanksgiving-with#post-405002 Sun, 18 Nov 2012 14:43:05 +0000 Ra 405002@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We spend Thanksgiving separate every year. He stays with his family and I go to mine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whose-side-are-you-spending-thanksgiving-with#post-404991 Sun, 18 Nov 2012 14:35:11 +0000 anonysquire 404991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My moms side. I will not waste a good holiday with dhs family. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whose-side-are-you-spending-thanksgiving-with#post-404990 Sun, 18 Nov 2012 14:33:31 +0000 mole 404990@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We rotate holidays by year, so this year its my family for Thanksgiving and his family for Christmas. (Our parents live about 2000 miles apart.) It's been working out really well for us so far. </p>
