We're gonna brave the grocery store tomorrow.
My sister is coming over tomorrow around noon to pick me up, head first to Honeybaked ham to pick up the hams for turkey day, and then on to Publix to brave the crowds to get the rest of the stuff to go with it.
I am hoping that Publix has some single packaged turkey legs, that's what the teens want to eat, (along with the ham) pick up some of their mashed potatoes and gravy, some veggies and rolls.
Seeing as it's just the teens and I, we will not be making or having a ton of food, just enough for us, and something for dessert like a chocolate cream pie or something like that.
My sister and nieces will be coming over on Thanksgiving morning for a little bit, but they will be going home for their own dinner with her husband later on.
The teens and I will watch the parade while the food cooks, and then while we eat, we'll watch some movie that we've all agreed on, then I'll nap while they play video games, and it will basically be like any other day around here except for the excessive food.
The only thing the teens like about Thanksgiving is the food.
Actualy, I think that's what everybody likes about the day.

Thankfully I already did my shopping the other day. Reading your post reminded me tho that I need to take the turkey out of the freezer to thaw. It will only be me, Tony and the kids but I will be making a darn tasty meal! YUMMY!!!

I did my Toikey Day shopping on Sunday. We had to go to two different supermarkets, because the first one didn't have everything I needed. But in both stores, I noticed that they had plenty of packaged turkey legs and wings. A lot of people buy just a breast of turkey, if they are having a dinner with just a few people, so they gotta do something with all of those legs, right?
It's pretty laid back here, too, just me, Mike, and the cats. Watch the parade, cook, eat, watch movies (since we're not really into football). This is my favorite holiday, I love doing all of the cooking and all.
I'm glad to hear that the boys are feeling better, hope you are soon, too!

When you are watching the parade when you see the Macys Marquese that is where Dad and I met 50 years and we are still crazy about each other. We are going to Mikes for dinner and I don't have to cook at all. We will also celebrate Dad's birthday, Mikeys birthday and Mikes birthday Dads and Mikeys is actually tomorrow and Mikes two days later. We miss all of you on thanksgiving and all year but be happy and have a good day. I know you will WE LOVE YOU ALL
