Thanksgiving

This year Raleigh and I are blessed to be hosting Thanksgiving. My grandmother, Mamaw, loved Thanksgiving so much and always spent the month of November making sure Thanksgiving would be great!

Since my grandmother passed away, my mom and her five siblings have taken turns hosting Thanksgiving each year. It is always such a special time to gather with aunts, uncles, and cousins.

This year Raleigh and I decided we would like to have everyone gather in our home. (maybe by this time next year there will be a little one in our house and it might not be quite as easy to host...:)

My parents are coming a day or two early to help out. Mom and I are planning to do as much as possible Wednesday.

So far this is our menu:

Snacks while people arrive
hot pepper jelly with cream cheese
vegetable tray
spinach dip

Main Course
turkey
ham
dressing
pinto beans in the crock pot
deviled eggs
mashed potatoes
mac and cheese
rice casserole
broccoli casserole
salad
fruit salad
angel biscuits

Dessert
chocolate pies- Mamaw's signature dish...delicious
pumpkin pies
Texas sheet cake
sour cream pound cake

What foods are staples at your family's Thanksgiving meal?
