- Wake up: To the smell of fresh out of the oven Banana and Pumpkin bread
- News: Watch Matt Lauer and Meredith Viera try to be funny during the Thanksgiving Day parade
- Shower: Realize I have lounged so much all morning that I have about 20 min to shower and get ready before the Grandparents arrive (Actually showered with much time to spare!)
- Cook: Run to the kitchen just as the doors are opening for my relatives so I can look like I have been productive all morning. (Already had the appetizers in the oven when they came in...boo ya!)
- Actually Cook: Begin making the appetizers for people to snack on (my main duty)
- Entertain: Bring the appetizers out and get lost somewhere between a football game and the cheese ball (told ya)
- Ok, this time actually cook: Find my mother running between the mashed potatoes, stuffing and turkey and take the baster out of her hand and see a look of relief come over her face (everything went so smoothly she didn't even need me!)
- Make a memory: Pose with my family as my 70 something grandfather shakes his way through taking a picture (he insists...) (Grandpa forgot his camera so I got to play photog!)
- Make Conversation: Listen to my family talk about how great the food is while my brother and I make inappropriate jokes and quote Family Guy
- Eat: Until I can no longer button my pants and I look like I'm about 4 months pregnant.
- Spend Time with the Family: Pass out on the sofa together
- Sleep: Crawl up the stairs to my room, assume fetal position and tell myself those calories don't count...
- Be Thankful: That this holiday is only once a year! No... For the health and safety of my amazing family and those who I call my friends.
