Happy Thanksgiving
November 25, 2010
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I hope it is a day filled with lots of food, fun, family and friends. Life is short so let your loved ones know how much you are thankful for them and how much you care about them.
On the menu today at our house are the usual suspects: turkey, gravy, mashed potatoes, stuffing, cranberries (?), pink stuff, green bean casserole, rolls, butter, pumpkin pie and apple pies (homemade) with real whipped cream. I decided not to stuff the turkey this year and just make the yummy boxed stuff instead – easier and just as good. I have to say there was a near riot over this decision, but the rest of the meal remained the same so the kids were okay with it. Also, I have real cranberries and I might attempt to make real cranberry sauce – wish me luck if I do because I’ve never done that before!
For snacks before the meal (just to ward off the hunger) will be crackers and cheese and cocktail sausages. I may need to run to the store this morning and get more crackers though – not sure if we have enough.
We’ll watch the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade and also the Garfield and Charlie Brown Thanksgiving specials (we have those on dvd). This evening we continue our tradition of watching A Christmas Story. Later on I’m going to watch Home for the Holidays – a new favorite of mine.
Again, HAPPY THANKSGIVING and may God bless your families now and always.
About Me
Hi - welcome to Oh Crap! and if you come back enough times you'll soon find out why I named my blog that.
I am an unperfect mom to 8 great kids: 5 boys and 3 girls (and I had them in that order too).
I have been married for either 39 really long or really short years depending on how my day is going.
Even though I have homeschooled my children for the last 30 years, I am certainly no supermom - unless you count the days I have to rescue my daughters from a moth in their room.
I love coffee, chocolate, and music from the 80's. I enjoy reading books, chick flicks, and thirtysomething.
So, that's me in a nutshell (and I'm probably more of a nut than you know). Thank you for visiting me on my blog!

Six hours out and I'm STILL digesting.
Certainly was delicious, though. I look forward to turkey sandwiches tomorrow :D

Thanks and I absolutely agree on both the delicious and turkey sandwiches. BTW - you do know I'm not going to cook today don't you?
