So......How'd it go?

[DianaB]

How was your Thanksgiving Day? I noticed that there wasn't a thread for this so I thought that I'd start one.

I was so happy because I had things pretty well organized to where I only had to do a few things when I got up. It made my morning so much less stressful. As always I knew that I could count on my husband to make sure that the garage and basement were somewhat cleaned. (I still haven't figured out why that seems to be so important when we have people over because that doesn't help me AT ALL!!)

I had bought the biggest ham I could find at the store and had put it in the oven overnight with a probe on the stove to check the internal temperature. I was really impressed with it and I'll probably be using it again on the holidays. The ham turned out wonderful!!! We had so much food and we hardly made a dent in it!!!

We ended up having 22 for lunch and later in the evening my son's family came over so we had 27 here, just not all at the same time. We played games and the kids went down and built play houses with blankets and stuff in the basement. Some of the older kids went and rode 4-wheelers. It was a good day!!

Remember last year when we had the slumber party with the kids. We got talked into another one but they promised not to wrap me up in a blanket and duct tape me in!!!! Right now they're back down in the basement fixing up their little houses!!! I'm sitting here on the couch with my laptop beside their stuffed animals.....a kangaroo with a little joey and a very worn pink poodle. There's blankets and pillows all over the living room floor and the movie, Cars, is playing but nobody's watching it! Glen made breakfast for all of us and he just left to go and finish harvest. It's been a good holiday and having the kids over just makes it that much more special!!!!
