What's Everyone Doing for Thanksgiving?

We are going to my IL's, which is pretty much what we do every year.  We usually go there for the day, then sneak off to my parents house that night to "really" eat.  IL's are not great cooks (stuffing is Stove Top even though I've offered numerous times to make it), and my Mom throws down!  But this year, with the girls in tow, we won't make it to my parent's house.  Sad, because I love Thanksgiving food and usually barely eat at my IL's so I can save up for my parent's!

Last year, we announced my pregnancy at Thanksgiving.  At the time, I thought it was one baby.  VERY strange to be approaching the holiday one year later and bringing two extra guests!

We had thanksgiving dinner number one last night! FIL hired a private chef to make dinner so that no-one had to cook or clean up (seriously if i had the money that's how I would do every holiday from now on!).  For "real" thanksgiving the in-laws are going to Florida and DH and I can not tag along with me being on bed rest, and I could totally go for a vacation right now. We will be heading to my parent's house which I know will be fantastic, my mom gets waaaaay into the holidays.  We also get to see my sister who will be back from school, that will be so nice since I haven't seen her since we announced our pregnancy in July!

We have to go to my vegetarin SIL's every year.  Either MIL or myself will "bring" the turkey and everything else.  She'll set the table and make sweet potatoes.

I am having about 20 people over my house, a combination of mine and DH's family. Luckily my grandmother is coming this year with my brother and SIL to help me cook before everyone gets here.

DH and I will be going to my parents house. They are having all our closest relatives over. The in laws and DH's sister are also going over there for the first time. I'm so glad because now I don't have to split time between two thanksgiving dinners, like we've had to do in the past.

I wish I was kidding.  The really sad thing is that I LOVE Thanksgiving and all of its glory (namely food).

Well, now I have to bring my own food to Thanksgiving, at least I bring what I like.  MIL brings what she likes and her inlaws bring what they like.  It's like 3 separate dinners going on at once.

We are doing Thanksgiving at my house with the ILs, well half, the other half doesn't do holidays. I am only responsible for making rolls and mashed potatos.

We will not be going to my family's because they decided they wanted and easy holiday and will be doing pizza. I am not going to drive three hours for some pizza. I am all about traditional holidays and want my babies first Thanksgiving to be very classic. I know they won't remember, but I will.

We will be eating at my house for lunch with my parents, siblings, and their families.  Everyone makes something to bring...mine is an easy green bean casserole.  In the evening we go to my Uncle's house to have dinner with my dad's side of the family.  It's a great tradition and I love my family!!  I'm also ready to shop on Black Friday!!

I bought Stove top....   but i'd love a recipe for good stuffing...

Every year my sister cooks the turkey and stuffing and I seriously bring everything else....including homemade apple and pumpkin pies.  This yr. her and her fam were invited to another family's house.  Thanksgiving is just days away, and she(my sis) still hasn't told me if she is going over there...or if we were having our traditional family meal.  So....moving on!~

Off to BBB i went...bought myself a roasting pan...and have turkey and everything in the freezer.  I will be making my 1st Thanksgiving...with 4 month old twins and MIL as my guest.

There's a good stuffing recipe on the back of the Bell's seasoning box
