Have you started brainstorming your fall gathering menu list yet? The last five years for A and I have been different every Thanksgiving - we haven't created any traditions yet.
Our first year of marriage, we were living in California during Thanksgiving. We had a dear friend that lived a few hours away and he drove in to celebrate the holiday with us. I whipped up every single fall gathering item imaginable and could have fed our entire neighborhood, but I was only feeding three people. Some of the items included a very large turkey that our friend contributed, mashed potatoes, cheesy potatoes, sweet potato casserole, green bean casserole, dinner rolls, dressing (aka stuffing), etc. It was A LOT of food.

Even though we only lived 5 hours from our family up in Michigan, A's work schedule was crazy, making it difficult to travel during the holidays. We ended up having a Thanksgiving dinner for two and swapped the roasted turkey for a roasted chicken. We made the bare minimum to give us a taste of a delectable Thanksgiving dinner.
Our third year of marriage was a challenging time for my family - my Dad was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. A and I made every efforts possible to travel back and forth from Indy to the Detroit area during those few short days. We made our way up to Michigan on Thanksgiving day and ended up eating a quick Thanksgiving dinner then spent the evening with my Dad at hospice.
And then last year, our fourth year of marriage, we lived in Maryland. This year we celebrated two Thanksgivings thanks to one friend celebrating Canadian Thanksgiving and other dear friends that invited us over for their family Thanksgiving celebrations. Because I was not resonsible for making anything, I sat back and enjoyed all there was to enjoy - it was amazing.
This year is going to be different again. As you might know, we are now living in Missouri. We haven't really had a chance to make new friends here yet and A will likely have to work Thanksgiving morning. This means that we will probably have a relaxed dinner with something fun thrown into the mix.
