All this has gotten me so excited (again) for the holidays. I only have to buy the turkey, cranberries, garlic and chocolate pudding (Hub has requested chocolate pie) for Thanksgiving. I work that day, so it requires a lot of pre-planning and Hub participation. He does a great job! We will have the usual stuffing, turkey breast, roasted garlic mashed potatoes, homestyle pole green beans, fresh cranberries sauce (once you've had fresh, you won't go back), pumpkin pie and chocolate pie. I'd make more except that it's not reasonable for 2-3 people on a workday. Alas, my Grandmother's sweet potato casserole, and my Mom's noodles sing a siren song that I resist.
E has been starting to notice "Cwismas Twees" and "Big Giant Cwismas Twees" along with snowflake lights that he calls "pwetty fwoers." Oh how excited he will be.

Christmas Cards and such
I just ordered my free cards from Tiny Prints that I received after reviewing them here on the blog, and I'm so excited! I didn't end up using the one I posted, but I love the one we did choose. I'll reveal it after they've all gone out. I don't want to ruin the surprise for the people who read this and will get one. I just love that site and their products. I doubt I'll be able to afford to do this on the same level every year, but it will be my hope to do so. And I don't even get anything for this blathering! I just like it that much.
