Well, Thanksgiving is upon us, which means it's time to get together! Below is the proposed schedule of events. Nobody's feelings are going to be hurt if you don't like something about it. However, no one will know you don't like it if you don't post a comment on this blog, send out an e-mail, or speak out in some other way. So please let your voice be heard and let this upcoming Thanksgiving be fun and fulfilling for everyone!Also, I wasn't sure when everyone would be arriving and departing from out of town, so that will be included on one of the revised schedules after y'all know when you're getting here. So I've just planned from Wednesday through the weekend for now. The assignment of who is in charge is listed after each item.

***Now that I'm looking over this, I see that I haven't planned any breakfasts. I guess that gives those of us who live in Denver a little longer to get our kids ready and get out the door, but maybe Dana could assign people to make breakfasts for those people staying with Mickey and Margaret. We'll talk about it on the conference call tonight. :)

Good job Angie!! That looks great, thanks for doing that.
Thanks Angie. It looks great. I agree that mornings will go smoother (for those of us with kids) if we do breakfasts on our own.
If the Ranch has an organized Turkey trot we'll do it. If they don't end up having one we'll plan on a cool trail (walk/jog) in the valley.
As for Thanksgiving Dinner, I was thinking we could go traditional this year. How about turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, sweet potatoes, corn, green beans, rolls, cranberry sauce, and pumpkin pie. Mark just added pecan pie to the list. If you have something you would like to add to the list please let me know. Mark and I will do the hors d'oeuvres, turkey, stuffing, and gravy. I'll post a sign up sheet for the rest of the menu next week.
Thanks everyone!
Impressive. Most impressive.
Love the picture. I remember that day well. The day we all went bowling in our backyard on thanksgiving. Hopefully we can make some more memories worthy of such photos. :)
I think your list looks great. I do have a few zany ideas to add to the mix. I'm talking wild and crazy, but simple. I'll share them with you some time.
Thanks for taking the lead!
I think the schedule looks great! It will be a lot of fun (not as much fun as backyard bowling....
Are we not going to see the Haags this year? Since we are doing Thanksgiving on Friday, I guess that leaves them out.
That's too bad.
Angie,
Terrific job. I for one was totally fed up with the last guy who was in charge. It is nice to see new blood with new ideas.
Don't have a lot to suggest although I think a Hootnanny night where we do some singing and the like might be fun at some point.
Thanks for taking over for the other guy. Finally we have some sanity in this.
Mickey
