  • I’m a holiday slacker

    November 29, 2011 /

    I just can’t get in the mood to decorate the tree.  I don’t know what it is.  It is currently chillin’ in the corner of the den waiting to be fluffed, lit and decorated.  Right now it is a sad sad tree.  But I DON’T WANNA decorate it right now.  I still haven’t finished my decorative Christmas trees from last week.  Not to mention the stack of Christmas cards that need to be addressed, stamped and mailed.  Ughh, why do I suck right now?  I think tomorrow is my day.  Matt is going to the State basketball game with the guys so hopefully I can find my Christmas cheer and decorate.

    I’ll post pics once the house is done.

  • Thanksgiving

    November 29, 2011 /

    Went really well.  This was mine and Matt’s first year really hosting.  Matt fried the turkey and I made maple sweet potatoes, mac and cheese and green bean casserole.  Matt’s mom made the corn casserole and two stuffings.  Everything was delicious.

    I must say I’m pretty impressed with my cooking skills.  Everything I made, with the exception of the chocolate meringue pie, were new recipes.  I know most of this stuff isn’t super hard anyway but I am still proud of myself.  They are recipes that will be added to our Thanksgiving Dinner menu.
