My thanksgiving was pretty good. We first went to my grandparents house where a bunch of my family was.. Including 2 of my cousins that I haven't seen since they were really little and are now in their 20's with kids of their own. Sarah has 4 kids, Victoria has 2. I love my cousins and my family but thanksgiving over there was a little crazy. They have the most unruly kids I've ever met. They broke so much stuff, knocked stuff over, tipping furniture, sitting on tables. It was just crazy! My daughter just sat there next to my mom with this look on her face like "what the heck is going on?"

Then we went to my husbands parents house that was just as loud with 22 people but no breaking stuff and this kids were a little better behaved! Things over there are always more organized too.. We eat dinner close to when it was planned, his parents let people bring stuff over to contribute to the meal, we say grace all holding hands and we all eat together. It feels like what thanksgiving should feel like.
But honestly, having to go to 2 places that are an hour apart kinda sucks. So I declare that in 2013 I will be hosting thanksgiving at our house!
