This was the 5th Thanksgiving that My husband and I have celebrated together. Each year his family has changed up where they eat the dinner, but nonetheless, they always do dinner. The first 4 years it was breakfast/dinner at his moms side, then dinner at his dads side followed by dinner at my moms side.
This is extremely hectic and I would like to settle into a good schedule of alternating families so we can go to one house for the whole day and relax there, instead of running around like turkeys with our heads cut off, eating all day long. However, this year, being pregnant, I was thrilled to get to eat two dinners. For the first time in 14 weeks I wasn't starving. Also, its hard on our son to not spend lots of time with one side and he fusses whenever we leave either families house. So really, it would be easier on all of us to dedicate the day to one side only. Especially since next year we will have a younger baby with us again.
Our son didn't eat much at all that day, (while I ate enough to feed a small village) but he had a lot of fun. At my Mother in laws house, he enjoyed socializing with the 16 people there besides us. At my mothers house he played hard with his cousins and became the olive monster. Besides us, there were 11 other people at my moms house.
I also found it a huge crack up when my mom showed us her new gravy boat that she was super proud of. She liked the way it looked, and of course I was the one to point out the fact that it poured out of the turkey's mouth. Yay for turkey puke all over the mashed potatoes and turkey. As I went through the pictures I realized I had caught the boat in action. Now I am thrilled because I have that photo.
