As I stated in my previous blog, "A mothers work is never done" couldn't be any more truthful. Returning from vacation on Sunday, I now had to get everyone back on track for Monday. Dealing with the hardship of unpacking and getting my life organized again, I now had to face the hardship of planning a dinner. Thanksgiving is in 4 days and I need to prepare this years meal. So, as the children went off to school on Monday and the husband back to work, I now had to clean house, pack up summer clothes, take out Thanksgiving decorations, plates etc. and go food shopping. By Wednesday I was exhausted! Wednesday morning I prepared most of the food for Thursday and left the stuffing for my husband to do that night. Yes all, he made the stuffing and scrubbed the Turkey. But , I must say that Wednesday afternoon I left open for my little one. I promised my daughter we would make cupcakes together. I out did myself this time. I made the cutest cupcakes ever! Turkey stuffed cupcakes. It was a lot of work but the end result was fantastic. My older children posted a picture on Face Book and many people commented. On Thanksgiving day, I had 13 people for dinner and everyone was amazed by these cupcakes. All in all, this is my favorite holiday. I enjoy the cooking and preparing as well as having the whole family together. I mostly enjoy the eating. So, I will leave my final blog to all of you with "Happy Thanksgiving" and best of luck on your future endeavors. Thank you for a wonderful experience as you all have invited me into a part of your lives.
