Planning for Thanksgiving
So Thanksgiving is two weeks away. Does anyone else think that 2013 is flying by? Mac’s course graduation is two weeks from tomorrow on Thanksgiving Eve. His parents and grandfather are coming down for graduation and Thanksgiving. This will be the second holiday that we’ve hosted; the first was Thanksgiving in 2010 right before Mac deployed.
Our first Thanksgiving table. |
I keep seeing lush, gorgeous table-scapes and décor ideas on Pinterest. Sadly, we aren’t going to do too much because we’re probably moving a week or so later. Luckily, this time around, we have actual china and plenty of real cups (unlike the plastic plates and cups you see here). I saw a beautiful table runner at Marshall’s a few weeks ago. I went back last week to buy it, and Marshall’s had zero fall stuff left. All their seasonal décor was Christmas. Did we forget that Thanksgiving is the actual American holiday?
Not so much of this. |
We’re sticking with the basic Turkey day menu: turkey, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, sausage dressing (Miriam makes this), gravy, cranberry sauce, rolls, and dessert.
What are your Thanksgiving plans? What are y’all making to eat?
