Hi, I'm Teresa(34 until next month) and I live in a burb of Philly with DH, Jake who is 3.5yrs(PDD-NOS) and Ella,2.5yrs (no diagnosis but something going on). I am originally from Kilkenny, Ireland and have lived in the states for almost 14 years.
Thanksgiving we usually spend with DH's aunt which usually pretty fun but also a little stressful because my kids eat nothing typical in a Thanksgiving dinner and we get a lot of "they'll eat it if their hungry". Oh, the holidays.....I just can't wait! On second thoughts, Paula, can I come to your house????????

...and how you will be celebrating Thanksgiving this year. I'm not quite sure, we co-own a little mountain house in the Poconos with friends and usually go there and cook up a storm. One of Malcolm's best buddies and his extended family may also be out there, so playmates, if so we will go to their vacation house for dessert! OK, MORE dessert... May take rest of weekend Fri - Sun and drive out to Pittsburgh, where my sister and her family are as of 2 months ago, also my mother is there visiting there for awhile. 2 beloved cousins, ages 8 and 6, could make this extra traveling worth it -- or THEY may come to Poconos, we'll see.
