Two Day Week! Thank you Thanksgiving....

So I found out this past Friday that I'm not working Thanksgiving at the restaurant. I am happy as can be. This means the Thanksgiving routine will take place. I've prepared a picture demonstration :) 1) Wake up early and go for a run around the Wakefield lake (weather permitting. Weather.com says rain? but...)

2) Get a large coffee to start the day (Honey Dew Ice Coffee, with Skim Milk and no sugar please) 3) Get back just in time to watch some of the Thanksgiving Day Parade! 4) Help mom set the table and prepare the food

5) Go pick up the Grandmothers....Grammie in Woburn and Grandma in Reading 6) Play with Crystal for a little while (if not raining, take her for a walk to calm her down before guests arrive)

7)Get ready for the day!!!

8) 1:30 guests start to arrive (yayyy! I get to see my cousins) 9)Apps include: Artichoke dip, cheese plate, pizzagaina...

10) Entree: Turkey, homemade mashed potatoes, squash, pecan crusted baked sweet potatoes, stuffing, cranberry sauce, gravey, green beans...

Homemade artichokes = amazingness (is that a word?)

11) Dessert: cheesecake, apple pie, blueberry pie...

The best part of Thanksigiving is being with my family. During the year we are all running in different directions.

Cheers friends and have a Happy Thanksgiving,
