Well, I got up at 4:50am (thanks, NikkiZ) and immediately set to work on some casseroles. My first? Green been casserole. And let me tell you, there is nothing that will ruin your appetite for the rest of the day quicker that smelling cream of mushroom soup and fried onions before 6am. Gross.
My family is all here except for my Mom, who is two hours away. They are all succumbing to the hypnotic cuteness of NikkiZ and getting drunk off the smell of her head. (What is it with the fantastic way babies heads smell?) We are just going to relax and chat today, periodically taking a break to prepare another of the 50 billion casseroles I have on the menu for tomorrow. It’s going to be a good day!
Have a great time with the family Zoot! So jealous we don’t have a baby around!! It makes the holidays that much more fun! When do we get to see pics of the whole family?
Oh, what a wonderful big brother she has!
Speaking of innappropriate early morning food… my little sister was addicted to the “budget gourmet” frozen dinners, specifically the SWEDISH MEATBALLS. But she would eat them for breakfast. There is NOTHING worse than that smell first thing in the morning.
That is a great picture! Have a super Turkey Day!
PLease post pics of the thanksgiving spread! I want to see all your hard work!
I’m getting ready to start on rolls and pies. Saving the green bean casserole and the turkey for tomorrow!
umm…err….I sometimes make green bean casserole for my breakfast… I know, totally disgusting, but I LOVE the stuff.
Good luck with all that. I am so excited to only have big daddy, the girls and myself. The little man has to go visit his maternal grandparents. Only 4 of us!! wahoo! And do you do your own fried onions for green bean casserole?? Color me impressed.
That picture makes me want to give my son a sibling this instant… so sweet! Have a great Thanksgiving.
I’ll be leaving work at 1 to go home and clean, do a bit of shopping and to bake a pumpkin pie!
I’m very jealous - my house is a disaster area and my turkey has not thawed yet.
Have a great holiday!
That pic makes my heart skip a beat! How sweet is this? If you frame any of the pictures that you have posted, it needs to be this one.
Save me some leftovers and TONS of NikkiZ sugar……I can’t wait!
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your beautiful family. Enjoy some goodies for me!!
Have a fabulous Thanksgiving!
Congrats on getting all of that stuff done WITH a newborn. You are superhuman!
Niki is beautiful!

Yup, my house smells like onions too and I love it!!

Hugs!
