Thanksgiving plans already.

I might be jumping the gun here, but there is a great possibility that R and I are hosting 

Thanksgiving Dinner this year.

(!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

This is something we have been talking about since the beginning of summer; so when the holidays came up during dinner on Sunday with his parents, I jumped at the opportunity to offer us up as hosts.

I love hosting dinners and parties.

I especially love an excuse to make a turkey, mashed potatoes and green been casserole.

In addition to all the good food, I will also be celebrating a birthday on Thanksgiving this year.

The big Two-Five.

A Quarter Century.

Holidays for me have always been really stressful;
I have a large, divorced family. 

Nuff' said.

Needless to say, the fact that our parents are even entertaining the idea is enough to get me in a dinner party planning frenzy. 

I. am. SO. excited.

With a move on the horizon, a possible visit from my mother, and looking for a job in PSL, 

I know starting the planning process now is wise. 

R will thank me later when we don't have a huge expense all at once.

SO, I started some invites tonight to send to the family so they know the scoop.

I am still contemplating color, and I might work with some different fonts.

But this is invite A.

Whatcha think?

Are there any special things your family does at Thanksgiving? Games? Activities?
What is the best way your family has given thanks?
I'm looking for some new traditions, please.. give me yours.

xo, r
