At birthdays and holidays, we love to pull out the board games, like – Monopoly, Clue, Sorry, and even newer games like Apples to Apples. We also love the card game "Five Crowns."

Another one of our favorite things to do is gather around a group putting together a crazy 1000+ piece jigsaw puzzle. Is my inner geek showing yet? Great post!

I digress. *sigh*

My cheap contribution?

Super Target had 10 pounds of potatoes for $1.99, so I am making the mashed potatoes.

Throw in some butter, sour cream and milk. For four bucks it will hopefully serve 22 people along with the 5 pounds my aunt is bringing.

Have a great Thanksgiving, hon!
