I'm thankful for a large, wonderful family and for a particular niece who offered to host this year.
We have hosted for many years, but my husband Perry's heart and health issues have left him with little stamina. It was far less stressful for us and others sent leftovers home with us to feed our 16 mouths. Our two sons, their wives, and our ten grandkids are staying with us for the holiday. Trying to clean, cook, rearrange furniture to set up to feed the hordes all while 10 kids ages 1-16 are running around underfoot was something he's been able to enjoy this time without all the work of hosting, cooking, feeding, and entertaining on him. (He's the cook in the family, and I'm very little help in these situations.)
