First big dinner in the new house? Sounds wonderful -- I'm hungry just reading your food list! I'm glad it went well. :)
And carving the turkey? I do it and I do it in the kitchen simply because the counter's a better height. Well, that and we don't tend to do 'sit down' Thanksgiving dinner. We're more buffet style in the kitchen and sit where you want, including in front of the TV with your feet up. (Of course, it's also nearly always just the two of us, which helps. :) ) But even if we were doing a big sit down meal, I'd carve it in the kitchen because there's not much room on the table with all the other food out there. It's easier to bring in a platter of slices! But I know the whole carving thing is a big ritual (even a show) in some families. More power to 'em and pass the gravy! :)
