Looking at your long list of things to remember makes me thankful that my MIL takes care of Thanksgiving! I'll be taking notes for Christmas Day though! THe upside - you won't have to cook for a few days from all the leftovers and we have that long weekend to recover! Hope you get to relax some this weekend!
ReplyDeleteI am thankful that even though we are celebrating Turkey Day twice, I will only be asked to cook for one of them...and it isn't even a requirement for me to cook (thanks mom!)!
ReplyDeleteHappy Hump Day SITStah!!

ReplyDeleteyikes thanksgiving dinner......i have been a wreck both times i have had to host the meal......good luck sounds like you have it all under control!!!!!
ReplyDeletehave a great thanksgiving!!!!!
Can I eat at your house? I am thankful I do not have to cook. I am the microwave queen and since nobody in my family cares for microwaved food they do not allow me to make a dish.
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving! You are making me tired just by reading your list of things to do! Oh how I am thankful we get to go to my parents house where all I have to do is play assistant :)
ReplyDeleteGot the frame ~ LOVE IT! Hubby was very excited about the video! Thanks so much for thinking of him! I think he is done pouting after last weeks game and is a fan again (I'm sure you know what I mean).
And in regards to my celeb. look alike post. I think you and Miss Wipeout are twins! Too Funny!
Ha-ha!! I have to say, Jen...as crazy as I am when it comes to organization and planning...you totally put me to shame!!
ReplyDeleteI'm pushing our meal back to 4 this year (Thank GOD!), so I'll have a bit more time in the morning to wake up. (I'm NOT a morning person.) Thanks for your tips though! I'm sure there are a few in there that I will snatch up and use as my own!
Love you, love you, love you! Give everyone a hug and kiss for me, and have a WONDERFUL Thanksgiving!
Everyone should be here tonight, so if we don't hear from you, we'll call ya!
You are like superwoman! ...and I was feeling overwhelmed with baking an apple pie, a broccoli cheddar casserole and still curling my hair.
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving!
I'm on my way to Kroger for a few last minute items. Chopping's all done for the dressing...I don't stuff either. eweeee.
ReplyDeleteUm... can you please come cook for me?!?!? :) Have a wonderful holiday!
ReplyDeleteHaHa! Well thanks. I wish I wasn't old enough to have a 16 year old. =)
ReplyDeleteTHe upside - you won't have to cook for a few days from all the leftovers and we have that long weekend to recover.

Ugh...I cannot handle your to-do lists! I made 2 casseroles and 1 Crock-Pot meal to take to our 2 Thanksgiving meals...that was enough!!! :)
ReplyDeleteI do a very similar thing - make a calendar grid so I can see all of the days leading up to Thanksgiving and Christmas, then just fill in the squares, meshing it with the family calendar so I don't overload myself on any given day. It has kept me on track and tho it looks like I'm being obsessive, I can find pockets of time marked "RELAX". (:
