He was very appreciative. 
Given all he planned to make, you are either saving him a lot of work or will be the recipient of a lot of good food
I think they SHOULD come to your place. Thanksgiving is one time that more than two is NOT a crowd.
@Latestarter did say that if his sweet, shy, dear daughter agrees to it, they will come over for some dessert. My DD is bringing a big Pumpkin Pie and I'm making a Cranberry Pie - and of course there will be lost of fresh, goat's whipped cream, for all.
And of course, I'm guessing Latestarter would accept some of my Scrumpy (hard apple cider) and a "small" plate of some of my side dishes - of which he has never partaken. 
I have never had a bad mouthful from their table! 
Hard to fix stupid and harder still to be a neighbor.
That is on the NE side of the state and I am on the NW side...it is about 90 miles between us....but, on the same line as we are....
We're just having my daughter, son in law & grandson. I don't know how old @Latestarter's daughter is, but my DD is 43 & her hubby is 49.
