This weekend was super nice and super cool that Mommy and Daddy didn't have to work for 4 straight days! We had Thursday for Thanksgiving off plus Friday and the of course our usual Saturday and Sunday off...NICE! The only bad thing about it was---Mommy got sick :( oh boo! Mommy wasn't sick on Thanksgiving Day though...whew! I'm still a little bit sick right now but I can manage. Mommy has a cough that just won't go away :(
Anyways, let me tell You what we did on Thanksgiving Day---Mommy started chopping and preparing for our Thanksgiving meal at 9am! That's early huh? I started by chopping up all the veggies for the stuffing, peeled and chopped up the potatoes for mashed potatoes, and peeled and choppped up the sweet potatoes for the sweet potato bake. Mommy also prepared the turkey by putting ayummy spice rub on it for extra flavor. Your Daddy was in charge of cleaning and re-arranging the living room ( he did an awesome job by the way). Oh, and he cleaned out the fireplace too. Your (Grandpa) Papa was in charge of cleaning the backyard and the garage. Daddy also helped Mommy by mashing the potatoes, sweet potatoes, basting the turkey every hour, and pretty much helped me with whatever I needed...awwwww kudos to your Daddy :)
Our guests came at about 7pm and it was perfect timing because Mommy was so hungry and oh so tired by that time. All I wanted to do was eat and relax. The guests that came for Thanksgiving were; your Abuelita Norma, your Tio Esteban, your Tio Eliseo, your Auntie Sherry, your Uncle Leleng, your Uncle Klint, and a few of your Papa's buddies. And our menu consists of:
*a yummy 15 pound turkey and gravy
*stuffing
*sliced baked ham
*creamed corn and regular corn
*cranberry sauce
*sweet potato bake
*mashed potatoes
*roasted potatoes
*green bean casserole
*egg rolls (courtesy of Mommy's co-worker Thai)
*and refried beans (your Abuelita made it)
*chocolate chip pumkpin bread (Mommy's co-worker Michele made it)
*store bought pecan pie
*store bought apple pie
*store bought dinner rolls
Everyone LOVED Mommy's cooking...yay! :) Sad to say, I didn't take any pictures :( I totally forgot about taking pictures. I think because Mommy was so tired already but I did get a picture of the turkey...hehehe :)
