How do you do Thanksgiving dinner?
We switch off every year between my dad's family usually at my Aunt Kim & Uncle David's house and my mom's family. This year we are going to my Aunt Cheryl & Uncle Tom's house. With my mom's family we try to do a big group family photo (our hubby's love this part! hee hee!!) We eat outside & the kiddos play, the guys watch tv & nap and the girls chat. This year we will be planning our BIG shopping day!
Where do you go for thanksgiving? stay home? in-laws? travel? I pretty much answered this one all ready. Mike's family is in Utah & Alaska so we have always just stayed in town. We would love to go to Utah one of these years. Alaska would be fun too! I'm such a baby I would probably be so home sick!!
If you bring something what do you bring?
I bring something different every year.
What "makes" thanksgiving dinner for you?
Mashed potatoes, yummy homemade rolls & being with family.
What grosses you out?
I hate cranberry sauce and I'm not a huge fan of stuffing.
Gravy preference? brown? turkey? Homemade?
I love my Grandma Daley's chicken gravy soooo yummy with lots of pepper!
Mashed Potatoes? from scratch? or instant?
Homemade mashed potatoes with salt, pepper & a little bit of butter.
I love my Grandma Daley's potatoes too!
Do you actually eat Yams?
I'm like a kid I always said I didn't like yams but I couldn't ever really remember actually trying them. It was after Mike & I were married that I ate them I loved them. I don't like them with marshmallows. Butter, brown sugar & cinnamon-YUM!
What about cranberries?
The thought could make me gag!
Pie? What is a "must have" at every Thanksgiving dessert table?
I love apple pie warm with a little vanilla ice cream. I don't like pumpkin or pecan. When Mike makes pecan pie I try but I ended up just eating the crust. Oh, I love the french silk too!
Pies? From scratch? Or store bought?
I love homemade but I don't mind store bought.
Whipped cream? From scratch ? Cool whip? Or from a can?
Nothing!
I stole this from Crazymama thought it would be fun!
I would love to hear what you love about Thanksgiving, please share!

sounds fun! i love that crazymama put this on her blog, i think i will do it too! and i agree, cranberries are gross! oh, and my friend doesn't actually live in the old church. the church sits on the same property as the house (which the methodist church used as administrative offices) so he lives in the house and then the party was in the church... ;)
i tried yams...but couldn't do it :)
i love getting together with a big group of family with tons of kids running around
Thanks for your ideas for a perfect Thanksgiving dinner.

sounds like the perfect kind of thanksgiving! YAY only one week left! SO exciting!
