You don't need a cast of thousands to have a special thanksgiving, as you surely know. Coming from a small nuclear family unit of two parents who had both moved far away from their own families, thanksgiving for me growing up was often just the three of us (although some years we did go to Duck, NC, and rent a big house with my dad's extended family). Might seem weird to some, but it was special none the less. We didn't make any less importance of it, dress any less nicely for it, or cook any less food, in fact. It's what you make of it and Will is going to remember those happy days no matter what. /preachy tone ;)

This is the first year for us that we are 5000 miles from the nearest family. I'm not sure what we're going to do. There are so many people in Hawaii without family near that it is somewhat likely we'll have "friend Thanksgiving" on the day itself. But many people have told me how they have their own special celebrations with just the nuclear family that are still looked forward to by the children. Like Craig said, you can still dress up, cook special food, and do something special even if it's just you.

I find myself getting very stressed out over Shelly and I spliting holiday plans. I have no idea what we are going to do!

I hope you have a lovely Friend THanksgiving. Like you, I always had fond memories of Thanksgiving as a child. Our family has grown, but our Thanksgivings have gotten smaller. Last year, I went to Artboy's Thanksgiving, and it was awesome. HUGE family reunion...100's of ppl there at the park. I love it.
