This week for Thanksgiving!!!

We are headed to a dear friends house to celebrate Thanksgiving and I am so happy that my mother in law and sister in law will be here. I'm going to take a billion photo's! Taylor hasn't seen her Nana is over a year ( she was 7 months old)! Where does the time go?

I can't wait for them to get here, we have been making plans and getting ready the past couple of days. Here are some of our ideas. Aunt Tara will be here this afternoon, I'm making her Gemelli with turkey italian sausage and roasted vegetables in a Parmesan cream sauce and a side salad. We will most likely spend the evening home so that I can get some baking done and so Taylor and Tara can do some "serious" playing.. I have a little project for them too.

Margie will be here at 8am tomorrow and we are all heading to the airport to greet her. I'm putting together a brunch that will tide us until the BIG event. I'm making my moms amazing quiche, country potatoes, sausage and fresh fruit... ( I'm going to through some mimosa's in the mix too)

For Thanksgiving dinner I am in charge of all of the deserts. The plan: Homemade apple pie, Costco Pumpkin Pie, and my famous chocolate tart. I'm also making spinach artichoke dip and brussel sprouts with crispy panchetta. It should be quite a feast with over 15 people: 5 Grandparents, 4 college student, 3 toddlers and the rest of us. I can't wait.

The rest of the week will include a trip to Sea World, shopping and playing with Taylor. I'm giddy just thinking about it.

Happy Turkey Day to all my lovelies. Chat with you on Monday!!
