Name 5 things...

What are FIVE things that you are going to do at Thanksgiving dinner or on Thanksgiving day BESIDES eating?

I am trying to remember to focus on something BESIDES eating....

Here's my list:

1. Help my mom clean the dishes
2. Spend one-on-one time with my grandma chatting about how she is doing
3. Play with my sister's hubby's son... he loves to play with cars
4. Go for a walk in between appetizers and the main meal
5. Bring a dessert that I can eat and not feel guilty about

How about you?

1. Spend time with crazy boy Jackson

2. Celebrate crazy boys b-day

3. Sorry Elena but EAT

4. Try and steal as much crunchy turkey skin as possible

5 . Plot Christmas.

1. Come home from work at 8am

2. Start turkey and get all the side dishes done, peel potatoes.

3. Sleep and let my hubby finish the dinner (making pies and salad today)

4. Wake up when my MIL and her husband are gone.

5. Eat, and spend time with my kids!!

1. Shop
2. Watch the parade with my 3 yr old
3. Spend time with my hubby and kids
4. Plan Friday's shopping adventures
5. Clean house to be ready for the weekend company

1. Remember all the blessings in my life that I am eternally grateful for!

2. Go to Thanksgiving day service at church

3. Prepare a wonderful meal with the help of some of the kids and my wonderful Husband.

4. Call my 29 year old daughter, who's birthday is tomorrow and who is hosting her first Thanksgiving Dinner in Indiana!

5. Get to bed early so I can WORK on Friday.

 

1.  Cook
2.  Clean
3.  serve food
4.  clean up after everyone eats said food
5.  travel to in-law's for another family dinner in the evening.

And throughout it all, I will try to weave in a lot of laughs, hugs and kisses!   If I'm lucky, maybe somewhere between 1 & 3 I can take a dip in my brother's hot tub while the turkey is in the oven!!

1.  Make delicious green beans (no mushroom soup!)
2.  Play with the new puppy
3.  Visit with good friends
4. Finish at least one Christmas present
5.  Go to the gym (that should be first on the list!)
