So, this is going to probably be my third Thanksgiving I can remember celebrating and I’m really excited about it. So excited that my sister and I have already started planning our menu. Is this normal? Too early? I don’t know, but I like to be organized and a good dinner party requires planning.

So far, this is what we’re working with regarding options, but I’m wondering if we’re missing something (or if it’s just too much food). If I’m really honest, I’m also a little concerned about the mixture of cuisines, but I’m multicultural, so I’m hoping it’ll blend in nicely.

Let me know your thoughts. Help a sis out! 🙂
