Thanksgiving!

Ok, thanks to my oldest sister I started thinking about Thanksgiving traditions. My family has many. Our dinner was always eaten in Roosevelt at Grandma's house (ok, I think I can remember a couple of times when it was at Brent and Sue's). All of us filing through Grandma's kitchen to get the turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy(yuck), creamed peas(Yummmmmmmm), rolls(always Rhodes), frozen fruit salad, and lemon delight. In speaking with some of my in-laws, I've realized that my family has some really WEIRD food that we eat! Frozen fruit salad tops that list, carrot and apple salad(I think this is really good but my husband thinks it's gross so my kids have never had it), creamed peas(these must be eaten inside of a roll), chocolate cake w/white frosting in a glass w/milk poured over it, lemon delight, "dirty water" punch(this is actually good in small doses), and I'm sure that the list goes on. I look back on "traditions" and many I'm sad to say haven't followed me into my own home. I guess as moms we tend to fix what we know will be eaten! I hope that this Thanksgiving you will all enjoy and be thankful for your own traditions! Happy wishes from the land of turkeys!!!
