Thanksgiving is just two days away and I am so excited! Micah and I sat down today to decide what we are going to cook and we went on a grocery shopping date tonight to get all the stuff. He is really into cooking lately. So much so that he wants to make scrambled eggs about every 5 minutes throughout the day. :) We decided we're going to make some of my infamous Strawberry-Kiwi Angel Food Cake dessert (Chris would be upset if we didn't make that), Macaroni and Cheese, Fruit Salad, M&M Brownies, bread rolls, and of course, sweet tea. Mmm. I can't wait.
Chris' family has a tradition of the whole extended family getting together Thanksgiving day. There are usually 75-100 people there. We're having it at his cousin's house out in the country, so there's lots of land for fun stuff. A bouncy house, horse rides, golf cart rides, horse shoes, our tradition of all the women looking through the sales ads for Friday shopping, and of course - TONS of food. That family sure can cook. We then come home for quick naps for the kids and then we head out to my sister's house for Thanksgiving dinner. Again, some great food - my mom's broccoli cheddar cheese casserole is always a must have. A full day of visiting with family, having fun, and lots of great food. It doesn't get much better than that!
One small problem - I've pledged to bring homemade macaroni and cheese to both family events. But, when Micah and I went shopping tonight, we found that the macaroni pasta was completely sold out. Even the generic brands. So, we'll be on a macaroni mission tomorrow for sure.
