Thanksgiving Dinner- 11/25/2015
Thanksgiving dinner at our house became a tradition a few years ago after we hosted for over 10 years. Thanksgiving Dinner at our house is a collective effort with each family bringing 2 side dishes so that I can concentrate on Appetizers, Main dishes and dessert. It is not a lot of work for each family but together we usually end up with about 10 side dishes, a few meat dishes to fill up two buffet table.
Thanksgiving is also a very nice occasion to see of the kids together in one room.
