AJ is the same way, BIG food only. <BR/>Thanksgiving is actually the smallest big holiday with her family, probably since most people don't like who hosts it! There will be about 55 people there, plus guests (anywhere from 5-15 who just randomly show up) and there will be 2 big turkeys and a ham, as well as about 20 boxes of macaroni (lots of kids), 10 pies, 15ish pounds of potatoes, gravy with and without eggs (blech), some random green creation by Elaine, and lots of bread and liquor.Estellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12133147419963948340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6998040.post-1164147088895957302006-11-21T17:11:00.000-05:002006-11-21T17:11:00.000-05:00Ha!
