Well, we hosted the laws and in the in-laws for Thanksgiving dinner again. We were trying to calculate -- we think this was our sixth year. I love Thanksgiving. All the fun and food without the heartache of the gifts. Everyone brings food so it's not very hard to host Thanksgiving, but it is the one time a year when I actually clean my house, so that presents a challenge.
This year we had mother/daughter cookie bake the next day so the after clean up had to be finished Thanksgiving night. The cookie bake was strangely fun too. Mom and her friend (our surrogate mother) Bonnie got into the cranberry cocktails from Thanksgiving and -- whoops! it was a party. (In the photo, Mom and Bonnie are showing you that they have stained their hands with food coloring in dedication to the cookie making process. Way to commit, girls!!)

So now I am done-done with Thanksgiving and that blob of Jell-O cranberry mold from Aunt Phyllis will just have to wait there on the side of the fridge until next year's Thanksgiving clean up.
