Happy Thanksgiving



What a great day! It was so wonderful to talk to Leesha, she called just after everyone arrived and talked to everyone. Still hard to believe she lives in Omaha.

Sami and Breann came early and helped me get everything ready for the day. Made place cards and decided where everyone would sit for the big meal. Breann hung the candy canes all over the house, never knew where you were going to find them.

Then we got Elfed. Office Max had the cute and funny program that you could put you face on an elf and it would dance. We had lots of fun with that. I'm sure we will be seeing a few more of those popping up.

Everyone started arriving at about noon. Munched away on pepperoni, salami, cheese, crackers, veggies, and some wonderful fudge (Jeannie made that, where did she find the time).

Turkey was served just a little after 2 - it was a great meal. My turkey tester (Dad) was right on with checking for turkey doneness. Sami made some delicious carmelized onions, I think they were my favorite part of the meal, well beside the pies.

Got the table all cleared and served up the pie. Your choice of Key Lime, Peanut Butter Cup, Pecan, or Pumpkin or any combinations of those and we had lots of different combos. Topped them off with cool whip and we had some mighty satisfied customers.

Then it was off to watch football, Green Bay won, take a nap or clean up the kitchen. Mum, Tammy and I were the cleanup crew. It went pretty fast so that wasn't to bad.

The last of the guests left at about 1830 or so, it seemed so much later. It sure felt good to just sit down and relax.

Will be back later with the exciting tales of Friday.

Just remembered John is getting frocked on Friday, pretty exciting.
