Let the baking begin!

I love to cook, especially love baking- must be my love for sweets! Tomorrow will be the beginning of days of THANKSGIVING cooking! My friend Susan and I are doing our pumpkin rolls- also will make my brother's favorite- pecan tarts. Tuesday I will bake the cornbread and chop celery/onions for the dressing. Wednesday make several more desserts and cranberry salad. Then Thursday put the dressing together, make sweet potatoe casserole and deviled eggs. I will lug all this to my Mothers and along with her turkey, ham, mashed potatoes/gravy, corn, green beans, peas and fruit salad WE will have a meal fit for a king!
This will be a busy week to say the least! Sort of like the Thanksgiving/ kick off to Christmas week! You start the week thinking turkey, dressing, pumpkin pie and end the week thinking Black Friday! I just told my daughter that I think Thanksgiving should be the 2nd Thursday in the month BECAUSE it seems like Christmas overshadows Thanksgiving. I am usually good about this BUT like I said I am thinking Christmas! Just take a look at this blog!
So, after days of cooking there will be days of decorating and shopping ahead... DAYS! Exciting, busy, exhausting but THANKFUL days. I have so much to be thankful for this year I've run out of fingers and toes to count my blessings on. God is good.

I have to keep telling myself....

It's Thanksgiving NOT Christmas! I don't know why but I have jumped ahead of things and landed in the midst of the Christmas spirit! Not really like me at all. I could lay the blame on Brooke since she officially did the first "deck the halls" of the season SHE PUT HER TREE UP!
That must have been all it took for me-ha! Seriously!But, for whatever reason I am ready! More than ready! I should be making a grocery list for Thanksgiving dinner, digging out my recipes, deciding what to take where. Instead I am getting Christmas lights, having Brooke pick up wrapping paper, making Christmas to do list AND memorizing the black Friday ads! SNAP OUT OF IT! Oh and as you can see I basically have a Christmas blog! ;)

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas

"Lord help the mister who comes between me and my sister and Lord help the sister, who comes between me and my man!"

I love White Christmas! One of my favorite movies of all time. I'm amazed at the people I've talked to that's never watched it- I can't imagine Christmas without watching this wonderful movie.. it's a classic.
