Boy! Aren't you the busy one? I love all the smilies! They are so appropriate!

We are having Thanksgiving at my in-laws but I am still crazy busy - What's up with that?

[PAYROLL PRINCESS]

I'm doing turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, corn, peas, boiled onions, rolls, chocolate trifle, chocolate mousse pie and Swedish apple pie. Oh yeah, and appetizers too. No cranberry sauce though! If anyone wants the orange veggies they have to do bring it themselves.

I'm cooking - we'll be having turkey, dressing, mashed potatoes and gravy, some sort of veggie or two, sweet potato casserole, dinner rolls, pumpkin pie (Mom's making those), and Amish friendship bread. Fortunately for me, DH does the cleaning!

Just finalized my shopping list this morning. We're having salad, rolls, cranberry sauce, turkey, ham, mashed potatoes, stuffing, sweet potatoe casserrole, green beans, carrots, apple pecan cheesecake, and harvest pie. My parents are bring the pie and the ham, but everything else is me. It is a lot of work, but I love entertaining!

It will just be the 6 of us. DS20 & DS18 will be home from college (only an hour away). I will be cooking (even though it's my b'day): turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, veggies, cranberry bread. Not sure what pie(s) I'll be making -- need to check with the kids to see what they would like. We would visit family in Massachusetts/Rhode Island for the holidays; but DS16 is on the Varsity basketball team and has a game/practice over the holiday weekend.

We're going to DD's in-laws, so all I'm doing are the pies. It worked out great because I'm still recovering from shoulder surgery, so we'll get Christmas Eve.:tree:

DH and I are going to visit my family. We're having turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, mashed sweet potatoes with marshmallows, asparagus, and some type of pie - not sure what kind yet. We can't wait! :tasty:

Happy early bday to you--it's my brother-in-law's bday, too!

We go to my mom's and then SIL's, so I'm just in charge of the pumpkin pie.

Going to my parents as usual. They do Thanksgiving and we do Christmas. It always tastes so much better when someone else makes it. We are having. Turkey, pierogies, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, veggies, probably green beans and corn (that for my husband, lol), stuffing and a bread basket. I love the bread baskets. Our Giant Eagle makes a basket out of bread and fills it will rolls, its really cute to look at and tastes great! After dinner its our tradition to go to Harwood Acres (a local mansion/park) and ride through the christmas light display. When we get home we have dessert, this year is pumpkin pie and chocolate cake. Can't wait! Also need to get to bed at a reasonable time to shop, shop, shop on Friday!

We're going to DBF's parents house first where his mom is doing the cooking for probably 11 or 12 people. And then we're going to my family's for another thanksgiving where everyone sort of pitches in to help my Grandmother cook for like 10 people. We'll be more than stuffed by the end of it. Then driving back to DBF parent's house to do Black Friday shopping with them. So probably hardly any sleep but it should be a fun weekend. :party:
