Prepping for the holidays!!

So it is almost Thanksgiving and I think I just may be ready for it!! One part of the holiday meal in my family has always been sauerkraut and dumplings. I know not your normal Thanksgiving fare. So last year Sarah went to my mom's to get a lesson in dumpling making. Now for those who don't know..........Sarah LOVES to cook........NOT!!! But she decided to give it her best effort. Here she is with my mom using the dumpling cutter.

Sarah breaking an egg. Aunt Janet was there that day to learn also and to lend moral support!!. I think someday she will get over the trauma of watching Sarah and this egg!!!! :)

This is the finished product. Now all we need is the kraut!!! It should be noted that NO ONE in my house will eat this, but really that leaves more for those who will!!!! Now can she remember how to do it????

HMMMMM.....wonder if I should ask???? Naw maybe mom will remember!!

I posted the pictures above as a reminder to be thankful for family and traditions. I am so looking forward to spending the day with family and friends. The BIG bird is thawing in the fridge and the cupboards are full and ready to go Thursday morning. But the thing I look most forward to is seeing and being with Ya'all!!!

And just for fun.....Sarah went to spend a day with Jess, Amy and Lukas a couple weeks ago and this is a video she took. Hey, he loved it!!!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING !!!!!!!!

Love to all!!!
