My 3 nieces are gone to their aunt's (on their dad side), my mom said she isnt doing anything, my dad said with the nieces gone he isnt doing anything. Grandparents going to my aunts.

I told my dad "screw it...going to the cabin" (which is 2 1/2 hours north of Minneapolis and will have the Turkey Day buffet at the casino....then watch the "world famous" fish house parade the next day)

The wife is off for the rest of the week. She's shopping for groceries as we speak and will start cooking this afternoon. The only think she's allowing me to do is the brining and cooking of the Turkey.

In all, we're expecting 12. Second year in a row we hosted!
