Thanksgiving Plans?

Whatcha all up to for Thanksgiving?  Any fun traditions?  Staying here in Chicagoland or getting out of the city?

    We're going back to our hometown. My family has the tradition of running a Turkey Trot race regardless if we're in Chicago or hometown; so we'll run Turkey Trot Thurs am, which is a good thing because H and I have two meals!  His family at 1pm and mine at 6pm. Eeek.

    Otherwise I'm looking forward to hanging out with some old friends

    I eat twice on turkey day too :) My H is traveling this year and can't make it home :( I'm going to stop by the IL's and then to my parent's house in the suburbs for dinner. I'll be Black Friday shopping w/my mom too!

    Hubs mom and bro are coming with us to my family's shindig in Indiana. First time his family is coming to my family (he has 3 counting him, I have 11 counting me).

    Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!

    We are also doing two Thanksgivings on Thursday--my family first, followed by FI's family.  Then spending the rest of the weekend doing wedding things--it's crunch time!  I love our December wedding, but I was just telling FI that we should have gone with our alternate date (11/12), so that wedding madness could have been over by now!  Happy Thanksgiving, all!
