Thanksgiving Update

Hi everyone! I was just trying to think of a way we could all communicate about Thanksgiving and I thought the blog would be perfect. Holly just told me that Ben's family will be joining us for Thanksgiving dinner here in Oregon. Sounds fun! Just a heads up-our house will probably be crowded because our living room is probably a little smaller than Heidi's. We are going to try to get some tables and chairs from the church.

Can everyone bring their own bath towel and blankets? We have one air mattress and one twin bed. I was thinking that Lance and Des could have their own room with their family and Jared and Heidi could have a room for their family. One room has a twin bed. We are going to move some of the furniture out so that each family could fit in their room. I was thinking that Paul and Carol could sleep in our living room-I know they have an air mattress that they could bring. Mathew could also sleep in the hallway or our laundry room or even on the roof-just kidding. But it would be good if we could get a twin size air mattress or some sort of bedding for him that would fit in our laundry room or hallway perfectly. Does anyone have one? Heidi said she has portable crib for Sidney and two kids could sleep in the twin bed we have.

As far as the meal goes could everyone say what they would like to have at Thanksgiving dinner and I could make up a list of what we want to eat and then we could divide up the responsibilities for making the food. Sheldon and I can go shopping beforehand to get all the food. Ben's family will also be bringing stuff for the meal.

Here's what Sheldon and I were planning on for the meal so let me know if there is something that you want to have that is not on this list:

turkey, ham, mashed potatoes, funeral potatoes, rolls, gravy, cranberry sauce, corn, & stuffing

pies & vanilla ice cream-pumpkin, cherry, apple, oreo, banana cream

Sheldon said he can get the SUV limo on Thanksgiving day and we could go out for a ride in it. I think that sounds fun!
