Alternately Titled: "HOKEY PETE! THE ROLLS ARE TAKING OVER THE KITCHEN!!!"


I am not proud. And I was further humiliated in the kitchen Thanksgiving day when I attempted to make Pioneer Woman's cranberry sauce only to have the entire pot of maple syrup boil over and engrave itself onto my stove top. It was not a victorious morning of Thanksgiving preparations. Luckily, the hubby came in and saved me from a panic attack. He has good timing like that. We were able to salvage the cranberry sauce and the rolls. The state of the stove is to be determined because I have been too busy sitting around in my cozy mukluks admiring my Christmas decorations to clean it up.

We had a fun lunch with both sides of our family. My MIL set a gorgeous table with all the trimmings.


My sister made an enormous bowl of fruit salad. I'm not going to say I didn't go back for fourteenths last night and later find that I had so indulged in this salad that I had sticky fruit juice in my hair. That didn't happen. Really.


The hubs is a big fan of turkey legs. Brings back memories of trips to Disney World. I would say the highlight of Disney for me was the princesses or the Honey We Shrunk The Kids playground or the Peter Pan ride. Not the hubby. His highlight was the turkey legs. What a man.


It was a day full of fun, festivities, furry friends, and food.








In other news, the house is decorated, we're putting up our tree tomorrow, I got all of my Christmas shopping done today, and my aMaZiNg parents came over and painted our baby nursery today. It has been one productive week so far. Looking forward to lounging around for the rest of the weekend with the hubby and family.

And for your reading pleasure...

Griswold: "We're kicking off our fun old fashion family Christmas by heading out into the country in the old front-wheel drive sleigh to embrace the frosty majesty of the winter landscape and select that most important of Christmas symbols.
Audrey: "We're not coming all the way out here just to get one of those stupid ties with Santa Clauses on it are we?"
Griswold: "No, I have one of those at home."

Happy Decorating!
