in the grand tradition of my procrastinating family, both my mom and aunt have bought turkeys but neither has taken responsibility for hosting thanksgiving.

all the "kids" in my family have grown up, with my youngest cousin being 22 so traditions have changed much since we were kids. if my cousins/brother actually come around, i believe we will have the kids table again. about 2 years ago when my grandmother's alzheimer's started getting bad, we resurrected the kids table. which quickly turned into a drinking game and "i bet you won't" table. longest talked about bet: when i bet my brother he wouldn't drink the gravy boat for a dollar. he did. last year, we welcomed my cousin's husband to the table...but not her. as a child, she shunned us for the adult's table. and now she is stuck there. but bless her heart, she let her husband join the kids tables.
