Happy Turkey Day

Thanksgiving has settled in at chez t*****. Last night I had the best time getting things ready with Carrie, the kids played and ran in and out (but it was okay) and Stacy put up Christmas lights! Every so often he'd ask our opinion and we'd go outside for a look-see. Some of you (what I like to call the white light brigade) may be horrified at our Christmas cheer but we think it's quite festive!
The turkey is roasting slowly in the oven. The giblets & neck and assorted nasty sundry is sitting in the refrigerater waiting Carrie or Kathy's attention tomorrow. I am struggling mightily not to throw it out and claim ignorance. Something about the giblets just turns my stomach. I think because I bit into one in some gravy on a long-ago Thanksgiving and it just - Ack!
I got the double layer pumpkin pies made - Mmmmm so good! How could anything that involves whipped cream, vanilla pudding,cream cheese, pumpkin and shortbread crust NOT be good?
I am going to try and get a little shopping in tomorrow as well. I hope everyone has a blessed fulfilling Thanksgiving and eat all they can hold of their most favorite things. I know the main thing I am thankful in my life is first and foremost my wonderful husband and daughter and the rest of my family and then my wonderful friends.
