Our First Thanksgiving


Dan and I are hosting our first Thanksgiving this year and we are so excited! Since its our first attempt we decided to make it a small one, my mom and dad, my sister, her husband and their three girls, and my grandmother will be the guests. We got a Turkey roasting electric oven to keep the oven empty for everything else, brand new Lenox flatware from our registry and a beautiful harvest table runner to go on the second table since we will be having one for the food and one for the guests. The menu is set and all the shopping is complete.

The Menu:
Turkey
Mashed Potatoes
Gravy
Stuffing
Corn Pudding
Squash Casserole
Sweet Potato Casserole
Green Bean Casserole
Onions Au Gratin
Crescent Rolls
Cranberry Sauce
Pumpkin Pie
Peanut Butter Pie

We also took this opportunity to stock our bar, which is the perfect time since all the gift sets are out for the liquors! Vodka, Rum, Whiskey, Gin, Tequila, white wine, red wine, 4 kinds of beer and all the mixers, plus what we need to make the pumpkin pie martini again. And couldn't forget the eggnog!

Hope it all goes well, as does everyone's Thanksgiving!
