Thanksgiving has come and gone WOW!! This year I had the honor of hosting the Williams family at our house (of course with the help of my Mother- in-love....OK she did most of the cooking). Our fun started on Wednesday night baking pies and preparing the turkey. Well let me tell you, I don't think I will ever be able to prepare a turkey. Being a vegetarian and preparing turkey and all the yucky things that come along with that did not sit well with me. So needless to say I know how to do it but doing it is a different story, hubby will have to take that reign from now on! I think I will just stick to baking and all the other side dishes. The morning of started off with french toast and coffee, then it was straight to cooking. I even had my kiddos peeling potatoes and brussel sprouts while the hubby sat and watched hours of football! After a long day of cooking, baking, cleaning, cooking and cleaning some more (I don't think my dishes have ever been washed that many times in a day), we sat at the table 10 minutes ahead of schedule, both Sandie and I exhausted looking forward to that much deserved glass of wine. Dinner was perfect, they all said the turkey was delicious ( I will take their words for that), but most of all I enjoyed the dessert and the great conversation. By the end of the night we were all exhausted and full but most of all Thankful!

I hope everyone had an enjoyable Thanksgiving.....the next morning was BLACK FRIDAY (and yes I was up shopping in the wee hours of the morning!)

Till next time...
