Thanksgiving dinner where do you go?

Just wondering where everyone went for Thanksgiving dinner?
We use to go to my mom's but since her heart got worse, we all go over my sister's which is very nice she is a "Martha Stewart" when it comes to cooking, i just can't wait to relax some and have a nice quite dinner with my family..

We'll be staying home as usual. My Mom was talking about going to Oklahoma City to be with her husband's family but they've decided to stay home, which will be nice because Mom helps so much with the cooking, especially the pies!!

We've invited my son-in-law's aunt, uncle, and cousin to join us again this year. They were excited to be invited again. They were a lot of fun last year so we'll probably just keep them on our list for future years too.

I think that we're going to invite a couple of other families. One has a couple of small children and the other is a couple that's retired but good friends of ours. The husband has been helping Glen with the farm work. And of course, the kids will be here. Feyn's family usually goes to Tammy's family for lunch and I think that Dae Lynn may be going to Damon's family for lunch too but they'll all show up sometime in the afternoon.

I've had large groups here at the house before and with the basement for the kids to go down to and play we have enough room for everyone. We play games and have a pool table and ping pong table. It will be a fun day!

My hubby & I got to his folks for Thanksgiving. It's either at his mom's house or his uncles (usually his uncles) & then we do Christmas at my family. Once my g-pa is gone we will probably start switching, but for right now I want to be with my g-pa on christmas.

I'm going to my daughter's house. In fact, I promised the kids that I would sleep over so it will be really fun. I love cuddling up at night with them in bed.

My daughter is a great cook and does all the cooking. I'd like to help out, but she is the queen of her kitchen. Any ideas about how I can pitch in without getting in her way? I hate for her to work so hard and I do so little.

Will she let you bring things that you can fix at your home, so that you are not in her way, but you are contributing to the meal?

Can you do the shopping for her so all she has to do is cook?

If she won't let you cook, maybe she'll let you chop up things she needs for cooking.

Can you do some laundry or something like that to help her out?

If I don't cook, I always clean up - but I bet you already do that. I also set the table, get all the chairs around, make sure all the condiments are out.

Why don't you make pies ahead of time and take them with you? Or some other dish that can be refrigerated or heated later in the oven .........or maybe home-made rolls.
