[CamColt]

I've said it before but you are worth double wishes....Happy Birthday, Sue Ellen!

Hey all - just a quickie break from my big "to do list" for today to check in...I AM BEHIND ALREADY!!

Looks like all you lucky ducks in CA are havin' a great time! Great pics!! Good to hear from you finally!

Sue Ellen - HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! (I'm singing the birthday song for you right now!)

Betsy - I just washed my cranberries - getting ready to cook them in a few minutes (cooking eggs to devil right now in the pot I need to use)....just realized what you meant when you said it makes a lot (and why it called for 2 1/2 c sugar)...I usually only cook 1 bag - this called for a 1 Lb so I am making 2 bags?! WOW! Will have leftovers to send home with MIL!

CamColt - I think I'd rather be having your sauce & ravioli!!

TRM - travel safe to the ranch!

Where's Cheri?!

Gotta keep moving now...will try to check in again later.... If I miss you - HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!

 

[DisneyDmbNut]

I tried to warn you!!!

Happy Birthday SueEllen!! What are you?? 35 now?? You are going to be sitting at the grown up table with us next year!!!

 

[Soccermom-Cheri]

Um, Bets... I've seen that buggy guy. Kinda creepy and kinda cool. And, I'm 4-, well, I'm slightly over 35 and I still don't get to sit at the big kids table. Me thinks I'm doin' sumthin wrong. Maybe cuz until last month I had the only two kidlets? Hm.... (Whatchoo makin' today? )

Yesterday Cas and I (and T separately with a friend - yanno, the whole teenage "love you but need to hang with my friends" thing?) went to Disneyland. It was me, Cassie and 3/4 of the population of Southern California. We walked in at 11:15 and sauntered over to Space Mountain. Fast Pass return: 5:10-6:10 um, yeah.

Small World was soooooo cool. I've never seen it all "dolled" up for Christmas.Very very prettiful. On to lunch at Cas's fav Bengal BBQ - across from Indiana Jones. It's now 12:05. Fast Pass return 7:10 as if that's gonna happen!!!

We hightailed it over to DCA where Cas rode Screamin' 5 times, Maliboomer 3 times (FINALLY tall enough!) and that big orange with the swings 3 or 4 times. Shopped, had ice cream, the castle is bee-ooo-tee-fulll!!! All icicle-y lights. And Cassie had fun trading pins for the first time (CM's only). By the time we walked in the door at 10:30 last night we were bone tired.

Now it's time to bake rolls for 25 peoples for dinner - and brave COSTCO for 35 gingerbread houses for 4th grade class project.

hmmmm - "Where is Cheri?" guess I could have just said "Here I am"

Looking forward to hearing all the stories from the Creighton-Gennaro trip.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!SUE ELLEN ​

 

[CamColt]

Sounds like a great day, Cheri! How nice to be able to go to DL for the day. Good luck at Costco!

Annie, I want some of what you are on! Where do you get this energy??? Plenty of sauce here for you, tonight I'll boil up the ravs and get them all together....sort of the easy way out of making lasagna.

 

[DisneyDmbNut]

Cheri - I could make you some pumpkin dip with ginger snaps...

it is soooooo good! I had it when I was pregnant and was hooked after that..it is like pumpkin pie filling and you dip ginger snaps in as a dessert..so good!!

 

[tinkryansmom]

Happy Birthday SueEllen!!

Beano - great pictures!

Gennaro's - you are loooooking good!

Annie - be careful in DSs bathroom!

Betsy - you rock the recipe file!

CamColt - stay warm and don't eat yellow snow.

Cheri - Jealous of the day trip to Disneyland. Not jealous of the Costco errand.

Neil and Dad just went golfing. I spent a whole hour at the office today Then went to the baker of all things good and picked up a blueberry crumb cake. Next its put gas in the truck. Get $$ at the bank and oh yes, squeeze in a color correction appointment with my hair dresser. I decided to go more red and well...let's just say Neil did not like it much. "Lynn can fix that right?" And to be honest I don't like it much either. So yep gotta get more blonde in there. Always another load of laundry! And I am hungry.

Everyone:
HAVE A GREAT THANKSGIVING! I am out. Be back Monday.

[CamColt]

You are probably gone, but have a good time, Johnna....and LOL about the hair. At least you get an honest comment. All I ever get from DH is "Thats fine".

The food is all made and put together and dishes are done. I'm just doing some laundry and figuring out what to wear(me and the kids) tomorrow. I need 2 outfits...something nice that I look good in to go to the bar in the morning, then some loose, frumpy, fat clothes for dinner. This is the one day of the year I pig out with no guilt! Love it! Won't love it when Im trying to get into shorts in 2 weeks though.

 

[CamColt]

Hey, want a good laugh? Karen (TLinden16) put this together for the upcoming Jellyrolls meet.

[SueEllen]

Thanks for the birthday wishes everyone. Unfortunately I'm sick, but still a good day.

Bets--it's 29 I tell you--and maybe I'll join the adult table this year

Looks like the C's & G's are having a great time in CA. Thanks for sharing the pictures.

...something nice that I look good in to go to the bar in the morning, then some loose, frumpy, fat clothes for dinner.

Alright now "bar in the morning"?! Really CamColt - you are sounding a bit like me!! And "loose, frumpy, fat clothes" - that's definitely me (at least since I hit 40 anyway) !!

The house is as clean as it's gonna get...bathrooms...sink...stove. Mom & Dad got here around 7:00ish. They brought dinner with them (WV hotdogs with spicy chili and chocolate milk). The table is set. Eggs are deviled. Betsy's Grandma's cranberries are cooked, the onion & celery is chopped for the dressing, the wine is chilling (BOTTLES for company ya know), the potatoes are cleaned & chopped & sitting in water ready to cook... Tomorrow is SHOWTIME! Hope everyone has a great day / dinner!

ROFL! Yep, we started this tradition about 16 years ago (don't do the math...yes, I was a bad teenager ). My friends and I would all go to this bar that gets jammed packed on Thanksgiving Morning at an upscale restaruant. http://www.cafeescadrille.com/pages/home.html Over the years with people moving and having kids and stuff we have dwindled down, but me, DH, and my friend Kelley have kept the tradition going.

The kids are going to the football game with my Mom. This is a huge deal in this city today...we are dedicating the new football field. We got a new HS a year ago and this is the first game on the new field. Its been all over the news this morning. My nieces are dancing at half time and even made the news earlier, so its big for them too.

I will be heading out shortly. I hear a White Russian calling my name. Have a great day!

 

[Soccermom-Cheri]

ok, Katie, now that elf dancing was funny. I think I speak for everyone when I say "please to be bringing elf suit on cruise and giving live performance!" We'll most likely be in pj's. Rockin' Bar D (whatever it's called on the Wonder) at 9?


HAPPY NATIONALSTUFFYOURSELFSILLY DAY EVERYONE!!!






psst.... it's coming. only 5 days.

Hola!
Had an interesting Thanksgiving...too much trouble to post now..but I will never again try a new Turkey prep method again!!

Went to the mall this morning..nothing crayzy..got there at 7:30 (we woke up at our normal time and figured we would go) and got Kate a cell phone for christmas. Rick doesn't use the other phone since he has a work cell now, so we converted his phone plan to a family talk add on to my account and got a new phone for her. Really, the phone is for me..I just can't seem to cut the cord!! LOL
Got mom's present today too..lol..I love a deal!! IlliamAy - onomaSay is Awesomay!!
