Happy Turkey Day!!
No, I am not up at this ungodly hour because I'm cooking a meal for 35! I'm up because easy child is teaching a power hour water fitness class (the highest level) at 6 am. I had to get up early enough to get some coffee and 'puter in before hitting the gym.
I'm not hosting Thanksgiving, but I will be cooking a fresh turkey breast and some sage stuffing! It's just not Thanksgiving if you are not doing some sort of cooking and the house smells good during the Macy's parade! I've always cooked a turkey breast in the morning as there are never leftovers and mother in law's house! The kids will go with bonehead and honey-wife and I'll go to my cousins where her parents are down from Maryland.
easy child and I plan to pull out the tree tonight and, if nothing else, get it in place to decorate tomorrow. She also wants to hit one store early in the morning - she wants to go to the Betsy Johnson store (her fav designer). She has a gift certificate and is hoping she can get a good deal with a sale. She really wants one of Betsy's winter hats and scarf. We won't leave too early in the am - the store doesn't open until 8:30. After that, another series of water aerobics to work off mroe turkey day splurges!
difficult child, easy child and I plan on doing the outdoor Christmas decorations tomorrow as well. This year we are doing something different. We have a set of four windows, a guest room, in the middle second floor of our home. We are going, from the inside, to put some nails, in no patterned order, on the exterior woodwork, and hang a miriad of different types of colored lights. Some draped across, some draped down - just a mish-mash of color hanging down against the house. Big bulbs, little bulbs, rope lights, etc. I have a big old mediterranean style house that is cream colored with a orange barrel tiled roof. I think the colors will look good against the cream. We'll see. We want it to look jumbled and wild! :christmaslights:
Well, I'm off to grab my second cup of hmj.
Wishing all who celebrate a wonderful Thanksgiving
