This year we celebrated Thanksgiving early with a few friends on a sunny Saturday afternoon. It took the edge off of the holiday hostess stress that I normally suffer and I am definitely doing this again next year! Everything turned out perfect. I forgot to make the stuffing and dessert was homemade peanut butter balls. The cleanup was a cinch and my post-hostess high went on for days.
Now all I need is a dishwasher installed and I'd be so very thankful. Perhaps Santa is the man I need to talk to about this?
