good morning everyone!

I'm SOOOOO excited that we get off tomorrow for a four day weekend. We didn't think we were going to get a kosher turkey (our local supermarket laughed at us for waiting for the last minute), but we got one at the kosher butcher's. We're cooking dinner at home and DF will be spending the night for the first time with the kids in the house. I'm still a little uneasy about it, but I don't think the kids will care. We're getting married in...four months? Weightwise, I'm halfway there...I've lost ten lbs. and can squeeze in a size 8 (if it's loose), but I want to fit into a true 8 and not have it be tight. To that end...I've packed my exercise gear and I WILL GO to the Y after work (I'm yelling at myself).
What's everyone else up to this Thanksgiving? Who are the cooks, who are the guests?

Hi Bay!
I've been wanting to know how wedding plans were going. I am so happy for you because your WORDS are glowing from this page!
Glad you got your Kosher Turkey to "do it up right" this holiday. So nice when everything works out.
We are going to be at my mom's all day. Given my current frustrations, I LOVE going to my mom's. She and my dad have such a peaceful feeling household. It's like a haven for me. So, football and cooking all morning (GO LIONS!!!!! Traditional TGiving game for we Michigander's) with mom and a good family friend. Eating off and on all day. Games, wine, good company. I can't WAIT. On Thursday...shopping!
We all cook. Jas loves his traditional chicken and dumplings (??? I know. Weird to me too) and my dad makes them well. So, he'll be doing that. Mom and I and my girlfriend will be sharing the rest of the load and doing all of the cooking there. And Ty will probably do his best to be underfoot off and on. ;)
I'm hosting a Thanksgiving potluck at my house . . . . I'm making the turkey, tatoes and gravy, green beans, deviled eggs and rolls and a pumpkin pie . . . and everyone else is bringing one or two dishes to share . . . .
Who is coming: My parents, my ex and his girlfriend, my sister, her boyfriend and my niece, my brother, my cousin and his girlfriend, our best friends and their two kids . . . .
Open house starts at 10:00 . . . we plan on watching the games and munching and then the meal will be served at 2:00 . . . and then a couple more friends are coming over for leftovers, dessert and games . . . .
I LOVE Thanksgiving!!!!!!
