getting everything ready to go in the oven...
my guys manning the stove...
Craig is working on the noodles...
Steve got up and had the ham in early...
I did the green bean casserole...
sliced the ham...
and coached from the sidelines...
I did make a trip through to get photos...
but was ran out so they could do their master pieces...
so here is 3 little cordials that I nabbed out of the free cycle stuff...
we moved the table from here and moved a bench in from the bedroom...
I was only out a couple of minutes...
it was misting a cold, cold rain...
and here are the results of one of the polls I posted...
noodles 4 (22%)
dressing 12 (66%)
mashed potatoes 16 (88%)
sweet potatoes 15 (83%)
stuffing 13 (72%)
something with cranberries 14 (77%)
corn 7 (38%)
cole slaw/ salad 7 (38%)
pumpkin pie 15 (83%)
pecan pie 5 (27%)
other 7 (38%)
Doug came in with a major ear ache...
took medicine, ate and is asleep on the couch...
Craig is in his room asleep and Steve is in our room napping...
here I am, blogging...
not sure if I want to nap or do the Christmas cards...
it's my tradition I began 16 years ago...
with the death of my grandma and mom in '94...
it left me being the only "girl" in a room full of guys for most of those years...
and I would be so bored from 11- 5...
between feedings when the guys watched the football games with their eyes closed...
they claim it is a talent...
I say it's something else...
so this was my "quiet time" to find a place at the table and write out my cards...
because I always worked...
and sometimes 2 jobs plus doing all the kid stuff...
I got everything out and ready to go last night...
so this is what I will work on the rest of today and tonight...
I won't mail them until after the 1st of December...
but they will be ready...
so- how is your day going?
PS- Dinner was wonderful! Everything done exactly right! They did good!
