51 people - when did the family get soooo big!
This celebration is a time when we ALL get together regardless if we are together anymore. Divorce and remarriage are so common place these days and to get rid of the multitude of dinners; the miles of driving; the hours of duplication; my family has instantiated 'The Everyone Thanksgiving" probably a decade ago. We all get to see each other at least for one night. It is wonderful for the children to see that even though there are reasons why adults have decided not to remain together, that it doesn't mean that we can't all be around each other and enjoy the company for a few hours.
It starts at 5PM, I know that we've got 2 turkeys and a big roast already in the oven. I'm helping out with h'orderves. I'll be bringing spinach dip/bread; sliced apples and carmel dip; chilli and cream cheese with chips; Mom is bringing a veggie tray and dip; and cheese and crackers; Brother Bill is bringing his famous deviled eggs.
