All of my grocery shopping is done :worship: I am staying home today, doing some cleaning and baking my pumpkin pies, doing as much food prep work that I can and getting ready for tomorrow! Thanksgiving is my favorite Holiday! :woohoo:

So what are you doing today to get ready?
 
Working, but I work from home so I will be getting the table set and doing a little cleaning.
 
Today is crazy busy without Thanksgiving stuff.....we are closing on our refi today too.

I do need to clean a bit, but the Thanksgiving stuff will have to wait until morning to do.

Dawn
 
We are going to my BIL's house so we don't have much to get ready. I have to put my salad together tomorrow but that is it.
 

All I have to do is heat up the Ham and glaze it tomorrow-going to our nephew's home.:)
 
I'm getting ready for Thanksgiving and vacation. Did the food shopping last night. Today laundry, cleaning and pies. First pie I already did this morning. Need to go out for a few things will do that this morning. This year we have small group only 8 that helps. Tomorrow morning will pack and cook. We leave Friday flight is at 2 we planning on getting to the airport earlier than usual I guess we'll leave the house at 11:30.

I work from home too and will also be squeezing in some laundry, cleaning, pie baking and stuffing making :wizard:
 
My list is very long today, all the major cleaning has been done but I have one hundred smaller things to accomplish. Washing and ironing tablecloth, arranging flowers, getting out seldom used utensils, clearing the counters, prep the turkey's, bring in extra chairs, getting candles ready, making some appetizers, getting my clothes ready...and so much more. I must be done by 7:00 pm so I can collapse and watch a movie with my DD and DH. I dream of a day in the future when I will go to one of my kids home and bring a pie. ;)
Happy Thanksgiving!
 
Well we are going to my mothers for Thanksgiving, so today I'll be working, and then after work I have to brave the foodstore to get a baguet and some bruchetta.
 
We are having Thanksgiving at my in laws. I have to do a little laundry, pack, take DD to therapy, bake a pie and get pack food for DD (she has food allergies) pack the ingredients for the turkey brine. Outside of that I have to find the charger for my mp3 player and bug hubby to get home early because we have to get to his parents and I have to get the turkey in the brine once we get there. It's already at my in laws...long story
 
Working and going to the bank to get my Black Friday money out!! :thumbsup2

Tonight, I will get the turkey ready.
 
I've been busy in the kitchen!

The pumpkin mousse pie is in the fridge.
The tortilla wraps are done.
The pumpkin ring cake just came out of the oven.

Next up.....cranberry sauce & deviled eggs!
 
Since my father passed away last year, I am just not motivated for this. Dinner is at my house, so I need to get GOING! We have only 3 guests this year for dinner, but it's open house for dessert. Could have 12 show for dessert, or none. Never know. We draw adult names for Christmas Eve gift exchange at dessert.

SOOOOO....I have to make the pies, set out ingredients, TONS of house cleaning, contact family members to see who WANTS in the drawing this year (it's voluntary). And......the morning after Thanksgiving, my dd's and I are heading to a championships for Irish dance. 2 of the dd's are in several events there. So, I have to pack their dance stuff, a cooler of snacks and waters to last through the weekend, clothes, and emergency stuff (motrin, ace wrap, ice pack). THe girls each have a competition buddy that they have to prepare a surprise for, so have to get out the goodie bags so they can put stuff in there. Oh geez, gotta get the girls to charge their nintendo ds's, too!

If it weren't for the last minute.......................................:rotfl2:
 
Well we decided on a nontraditional Thanksgiving this year. My Dad passed in June and my Mom, Aunt, and I are not up to a big to do this year. So we are going to see a movie (either Old Dogs or The Blind Side) and then back for a dinner of appetizers. So today I have to vaccuum and dust. Clean off counters and get a few appetizers done. Hopefully I can bake my Apple Pie today as well.
 
Let's see:
-Shower (I'm being lazy and still haven't gotten my butt in the shower!!)
-Decorate the table
-Make a pecan pie (already made my pumpkin ones!)
-Do my nails

And then of course, waste time on the DIS. :)
 
My plan is to pack clean underwear because I head up to Disney tomorrow for Thanksgiving.
 
We are going to DH's family for Thanksgiving dinner for the first time in about 5 years. I had a doctor's appointment this AM at 7:15, made a run to Walmart to get some diapers, milk, juice and wine to bring with us, stopped at DD for some espresso for my Tiramisu since we don't drink coffe!!

DH and I are still unpacking and 'building' our rooms so I cleaned up this morning from our entertainment center building last night. Now I am going to make the Tiramisu and get my Lasagna going to bring tomorrow. Hoping to get a nap in this afternoon since I didn't sleep well last night!!

Enjoy Thanksgiving everyone!
 
Nothing really - because I'm still here at the lake..:yay::yay:

If the weather is good tomorrow (right now they're saying dry and 53 degrees), I want to go out and take some photos of my "first" Thanksgiving here at the lake - then I'll probably do some online shopping - and of course DIS if anyone is around..:thumbsup2

Happy Thanksgiving to all! :goodvibes
