Lets Talk Turkey!

With the holidays fast approaching, I would love to hear some of your favorite Thanksgiving traditions! This past year I became part of a new family so I am starting new traditions as well as incorporating old ones.
Thanksgiving has always been a favorite day for me because we usally put up a Christmas tree in the afternoon and start making plans for Christmas. My new husband is a hunter so he will be taking off for a few days to hunt during the holidays and I will spend that time transforming our home into a winter wonderland while he is gone. I want to get all of the shopping out of the way so the month of December wont be so hectic for me. We are leaving on Dec 10 for a vacation, so I want it to be a stress free month of fun and family.
This year my mother will be hosting Thanksgiving at her home. My sister and I will help cook and all of the kids will be there for a nice long visit. We spoke today about the menu and just have a few items to work out so it is settled. I will have to travel further so I am not sure what I can make that will travel well. Any suggestions?
I would love to hear your family traditions!!! Have a great week and come back soon!

I'm wondering what to assign..because mine are all traveling here?! I'll do most or all of it for that reason, plus our kids stay a few days so that lots of meals. But we love it! We go into the mountains and cut out trees the day after Thanksgiving..it's SO much fun! Come say hi :D
