All the kids will be here. The kids started going off to college 9 years ago and we have always had them all back but since the youngest is about to start his Army career and the oldest is now in relationship and the middle one has a long list of grievances against her family this is expected to be the last year this happens for awhile. THe oldests mate is vegetarian so we will add walnut encrusted salmon this year.
Turkey smoked on the weber
dripping gravy
oyster stuffing (new this year)
Apple sage stuffing
mashed
corn
Green beans
yams
pureed squash
oysters gratin
rolls/butter
fresh cranberry sauce
pie
We do the same thing every year though this year we are subbing apple pie for the pumpkin. I used to do a jello mold like my mom always did but stopped about a decade ago because people other than me hardly ate it. We have always done a huge feast and eaten leftovers for days, but increasingly the kids are not wanting leftover paks (something that I loved about Thanksgiving as kid, we ate dinner at the Grandparents in Kenosha at 1 O'Clock and then dug into the leftovers when we got home at around 7) so I am scaling back.
