When I was little, Thanksgiving was always at Grandma and Grandpa's house. Seeing as they have moved quite a few hours away, it has now become a much smaller event every year and it feels less and less like the holidays.

Well, that's going to change this year!

I'm getting everyone together on Thanksgiving and I'm making a huge blowout meal to end all meals! I'm bringing both my family and the future husband's family all together in one spot and going to serve food that I'll spend two days making. I'm so excited to have my parent's house filled with the smell of the pies and cookies I'll be making from scratch and to get up at 6am on Thanksgiving morning just to put the turkey in!

I'm completely one of those girls that gets dressed up for the holidays and will be in the kitchen slaving all day with an apron on. I'm even more excited because I'm going to be bringing people to the Thanksgiving dinner that would otherwise be spending the holiday alone. I would never want to be alone on the holidays, so I don't want to leave anyone out :) Going to have each person tell me about one food item that really makes it Thanksgiving for them and incorporate that into the meal as well.

The night before, I'm going to be staying at my parent's house so that I have plenty of room to bake and make dinner the next day. Plus, it would just be more difficult to make everything here and transport it over there, so I'm going the logical thing. It's been more than three years since I've stayed the night over there, and so I'm sure it will be quite the experience!

Tomorrow, I'll be making sure I have all my supplies ready and packed and then will head that direction to bake all day on Wednesday! Really looking forward to this (if I haven't already mentioned that, lol) Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving and I'll try and post updates of the cooking and activities as I go!
