Thanksgiving

I am so looking forward to Thanksgiving next week! It is my favorite time of the year! I love the weather, spending the day with my family and reflecting on all the things I am thankful for - a list too long to mention. I need to start planning the menu. We are expecting a houseful again this year. I can't wait! I love having a houseful of family, cooking up yummy food and spending the day together. It's what it's all about.

I'm thinking we will do all the fixins again this year - Chad will do his turkey, sweet potato casserole, oyster dressing, mashed potatoes, stuffing, rolls, jello salad, and we will finish it off with pies and flavored coffee (maybe a little Bailey's or Kahlua - yummy). This year I am going to have a great helper in the kitchen. Tyler, who is my 11 year old nephew and a fantastic cook, will be helping Chad and I prepare the meal. I can't wait to see what he creates!!!
