Keeping Busy

Yesterday I made stuffing, washed and dried the turkey, made strawberry apple pie, printed out the thankfulness memory cards, cooked a chile dinner for everyone at night, kept toddlers away from fireplace, redecorated the house,



took pictures of family jumping in the leaves outside and cleaned-up kitchen and watched The Kite Runner and then to bed.


Today thus far, made cinnamon rolls for breakfast while I let everyone sleep in late, turkey was stuffed and is now in oven, daughter made a green bean casserole, made sweet potato casserole, I set table, washed the toddlers clothes, tended the fire (AGAIN), adults kept kids entertained and safe.

Now waiting for son and his gal to get here along with a pumpkin dessert (Yum!). Hubby has a breather while the kids have driven off to a nearby playground and he is mowing (!) the front yard so that it looks nice for the holiday.

I have no idea what they were doing yesterday in this photo below....


I am so thankful that, thus far, everything is on schedule and no one has killed anyone! HAPPY THANKSGIVING to all who read my blog!

  4. We watched WALL-E.

    Sigh. I remember my first Thanksgiving in Virginia. 78 blissful degrees. I had never seen anything like it.

    Sounds like your holiday was simply delicious! I hope you get some R & R after all that work.

  6. That's a lot of work, but done with love. I'm taking notes as we prepare for our WA grandsons at Christmas. 7, 4 and 1 with a wood stove. Scary! I liked that movie.

    Happy feasting! HUG
