Funny, my family is pretty insular and isolated. So unless my mom's sister invites us down we used to do just the immediate family. Of course with Shadow and I living where we do now, it seems to be an extended holiday with us dining with his step-mom, her boyfriend, her boyfriend's parents, his brother and his brother's girlfriend. And over the weekend we join my family (dad, mom, two brothers, me and Shadow)

Am thinking when Shadow and I get our own house will try hosting thanksgiving there, just inform them will be cooking dinner, if they want to come they can.
