What a day, what a day!

Where, oh where, do I begin?

It was a long, hard, busy, day. But it was wonderful :o). 

Here is the breakdown. 

We (Karsen and I) woke up at 7:30, thank you son. I jumped in the shower, fixed my hair, and make-up, got dressed, came downstairs, and I fixed Karsen some milk and breakfast. Then I got into the kitchen and started cooking! First I started to eggs, I wanted to get them boiled and out of the way. Then I cut the broccoli and steamed it. Then I made the cheese sauce and set it aside. Karsen decided he didn't want to play by himself any longer so I brought him in the kitchen in his walker. I then got the corn bread in the oven so I could get it baked. I then started cutting up the vegetables for the cornbread dressing. I cooked the veggies and made the stock for the cornbread. Once the cornbread was done baking I let it cool down and I made the green bean casserole and sat it aside. Next I finished with the corn bread dressing. I then cuddled with Karsen and made his lunch. Matt got home and helped me to clean up a bit. Matt started working on his banana pudding and decided we needed to have some macaroni and cheese so I went to the store to get the stuff to make it. I got everything I needed and Matt finished up his banana pudding and I made the home made macaroni and cheese. Then I left to go get the ham and turkey from Honey Baked Ham. Needless to say, I didn't realize I would be standing in line and I was wearing some boots. I stood in line for about an hour. My feet were KILLING me. I got home and got back in the kitchen. Wait, I made the mac and cheese when I got home. Jan got home a little after me and we visited for a bit. Then I got everything in the oven and ready to go and I left Matt with a few directions for the cooking and I left to get my parents. I drove across town and picked them up, then drove back. Then we got everything ready and ate. My, oh my, it was a wonderful meal!! Everyone loved all of my food. yummmm. Matt's banana pudding was GREAT too!! yummmm. After more visiting, I drove them all home and drove back. I got home and Matt helped me do dishes and clean up. He did a GREAT job of cleaning the house, oh how I love that man of mine. 

Now I am writing this and Matt and I are watching tv. I am going to hit the hay and get some sleep. 

Happy Thanksgiving!
