{ Happy Thanksgiving }

 

{ The day before Thanksgiving.....what is on the list }

This is it, the day before, the rush, the sprint to the finish line.

 

I don't know about you all, but I am already tired and ready to eat and be done with this.  What a terrible thing to say out loud, right?  But honestly, I love the holidays but as I get older, the less energy I have and the more tired I get, without even talking about the pains and aches that seem to radiate through the entire body.  Good grief!  😂

 

Anyway, today is go day, so I am currently sitting on my bed, with my second cup of coffee while Kaia snores next to me, snuggled under her blanket, and Elliott is also fast asleep under his blanket.  I have a video on the TV, listening to a prophet and writing down my list of to do's for today.  The more I add, the more I cringe, knowing that I have to get through all of this in the next 24 hours.  It will get done though and by the time bedtime rolls around, I will have a smile on my face and look back at the crazy busy day in preparation for another busy one tomorrow.

 

So, here is what is on my list for today:

 

• Pull out pie crusts from freezer
• Pull out puff pastry from freezer for Brie and my Custard Tart
• Make Pumpkin, Pecan and Apple pie fillings
• Make dinner rolls
• Boil eggs for deviled eggs
• Clean turkeys and prepared brine to get them in there overnight
• Make green bean casserole, pop in fridge and bake tomorrow
• Make sweet potato casserole, pop in fridge and bake tomorrow
• Make homemade stuffing
•  
• Carpet clean in between all this.  That needs doing so it's nice and fresh for tomorrow.  
• Insert leaves in table and start setting it for tomorrow.
• Make sure guest bathroom is clean.
• Make ham and cheese sliders for dinner.
