Pumpkin pie baking for Thanksgiving
must have already started because there have not been many posts over the last few days. Our Thanksgiving tradition is probably a bit different from most. We go to a resort in Brainard MN - about 4 hours north of here - and relax. They have a wonderful buffet on Thanksgiving day, a huge pool area with lots of games for kids, a family carnival on Friday afternoon, family entertainment in the evenings. Our favorite books store is located in Nisswa, about 7 miles from Brainard, so we always head there on Friday to pick up a few new books and enjoy the "official" start of the Christmas season with Nisswa's Christmas lighting ceremony. We started going there when DD was about 5 and she is 17--I think the only year we missed was the year we went to Hawaii instead. Last year I took my machine and set up shop in the pool area. I sewed all day while DH read and DD and our exchange student swam, played pool, video games, etc. all in the pool area. This year there are 16 of us going - should be fun. We love to entertain but also enjoy having someone else do the planning, the cleaning, the prep and the dishes! Joleen in MN
