We can start with Thanksgiving! We stay home and cook our own meal (that way we get leftovers). We were busy with that on Wednesday and Thursday of that week. The meal came out great and I even made some of the little pilgrim hats that I shared on Facebook. If you get the Fiskars newsletter you've seen them too. The kids all loved them!
I also made some pies to take to our friends' house after dinner. I don't like pie, but I think they turned out okay because they were eaten!
Pioneer Woman's Scrumptious Apple Pie
Martha Stewart's Pumpkin Cream Pie
So we wrapped up Thanksgiving and had to haul some booty to get the house ready for Christmas and Hanukkah. I had to take down the fall decorations and get out my Christmas stuff and all that takes time. We didn't really have time because this year Hanukkah started on December 1st. I host Hanukkah dinner every year for my husband's family and some of our friends. I make a ton of stuff from scratch and have to clean this whole monster of a house and it takes a while! We were scrambling to get done, and I had to change and eliminate some things from the menu so that we'd get done in time for everyone to be here Saturday night. Some friends came early and helped us to do all the last minute things that seem to slow us down at the last second and we were actually ready to go by the time everyone else got here!
