Your Family sounds like a lot more fun than mine!
We usually alternate years between my husband's family and my family, however this year my parents decided to fly to Seattle to visit my sister for Thanksgiving, so we are going to my in-laws again. My mother-in-law uses Velveeta any time a recipe calls for cheese, Cool-Whip any time it calls for Whipped Cream, Margarine for butter, and a packet of powdered "brown" gravy instead of making gravy from the drippings. I even offered to make gravy last year, but she told me that I was a guest and didn't need to do anything. I think I'll pack snacks and horde them in the guest room for when I get hungry.
