Cook, Bake, work & Clean

We were up this morning at 5:00 to start Thanksgiving preparation. The turkey was pulled out of the refrigerator and the giblets removed to start boiling them for the stuffing. As they were cooking the rest of the stuffing was being prepared and the oven was put on preheat. By 6:30am the turkey was stuffed and in the oven! That needs to be cooked today, sliced and ready for serving after church tomorrow as there won't be enough time tomorrow. We now also have 4 turkeys and one spiral sliced ham for the meat as the group keeps growing. One of the turkeys we will keep whole and have it sliced after the prayer kind of as a center piece. The pies will be started after the turkey is cooked so I have room in the oven. I'm making 4 pecan and 4 pumpkin. I also need to head down to work to get the individual Bibles out, I think we have almost 200 waiting. The labels are printed and I have the stamps, just need to put them on the Bible and get them to the post office. It sounds easier than it actually is. We have some family coming in today to stay with us and some coming tomorrow. I love having a full house!
