We say goodbye to Halloween this week and hello to Thanksgiving! Tomorrow we are hosting our small Sweatsgiving gathering and so this week has been a little crazy to prepare for that. Last night I made my grandmother's cranberry sauce, tonight I'll be whipping up mashed potatoes (I have Shaun on standby with an extra veggie peeler for those 15 pounds of Yukon gold awaiting us) and setting up my cheese board, dips and other goodies. Tomorrow it's turkey time, which is mostly Shaun's job. I'll be sure to fill you in next week on how it all comes together! I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
