[Gina]

Yes do tell we are all waiting...

ooooooh my gosh so its like what? a week since thanksgiving and im still recovering lol . it was a whirlwind of people everywhere with stuff everywhere lol. i cooked all day on wednesday..i literally stayed home from work lol and all i had left on thursday was the turkey and the bread. well since i made the cassaroles the day before and all the other side dishes i stashed them all in the fridge. somehow the fridge got turned down to the coldest setting!!!!!! about and hour before we were to eat i was getting the turkey ready to go into the fryer and garnishing desserts yada yada... his family shows up and i go to the fridge to put all the different sides in the oven and then i realize.... they are all basically frozen. well needless to say... somehow the turkey fryer got turned on low lol so that took an extra hour and my sides took 2 hours to cook and then they were a little dry from being frozen.... so my food was ok... it just wasnt fabulous. everyone ate well b/c i didnt cook anything else all weekend..except for breakfast lol. i took all the girls to get makeovers by this makeup artist... and everyone hated their makeup ....oh well lol.... and then we went to monticello for sat. and they teenagers just wanted to go home the whole time. i guess it was an alright weekend... im just not up for it any time soon..... i finally got the apartments back to normal this weekend. lets just hope they dont want to do it again for christmas!....oh yeh his brother HATES dogs and Oscar of course loved him.... he complained the whole weekend lol

I'm glad to finally hear from you. I'd been wondering how things went. It sounds like everything basically went ok. We all have cooking stories about overcooking and undercooking, at least yours turned out ok even if it was a little later than you were planning.

Now that you have your apartment all back in order you deserve a rest. I wouldn't worry about Christmas, you have the perfect excuse for Phil......"Well, since I spent Thanksgiving with your family, I thought that we'd spend Christmas with my family."

Thanks for letting us know how things went.

Wow, you're more brave and generous than I would have been! I would have been like, look, you invited yourselves, our apartments are not an option! Glad to hear you made it through everything okay.

So good to hear from you and that you and Phil survived. Whew!! Don't you feel good having done this though. Whether everything was perfect or not, you did your best to be a good hostess. Hope you have a pleasant Christmas!! Let us know how that goes.
