I am making the pumpkin pie and getting the stuffing ready early.  then we just are going to get the brown and serve rolls that will cook while the turkey is resting.  Corn is on the stove, and we will steam sweet and regular potatoes on the stove too, so it won't be too bad.

   I do alot of my prepping that night. I boil my eggs , fry my bacon  for my baked beans i put it all in a bowl. I bake my pies, make my cream pies. Make my stuffing and my glaze for my ham. So in the morning all i have to do is put my turkey in. Than throw my stuffing in a pan, same with my baked beans. Than put the glaze on my ham. So i can spend more time with my family.

If  I was making the entirre dinner at my house, I would do the pies the night before. But since dinner is at my MILs, I am making only about  3-4 dishes, so the pie I make will be made morning. My apple pie is amazing when its fresh out of the oven.

Why does my Pre-Schooler ride Rear-Facing? Because she is not a minimum. She deserves more than that. If we get into an accident, I want to know that I have done everything in my power to protect her.  Rear-Facing is endorsed by every car seat authority in the US. It is PROVEN to be safer. Why would I choose to take an unneccessary risk with the most precious gift that I have been given? PM me for more info!

The night before, which is tonight, and this year I'll be doing it with a sprained ankle. Fortunately a lot of the prep I can do sitting dow, like breaking the beans and cutting the corn off the cob. Pie is going to be tough, though.

I cut up onions, celery, carrots for stuffing and made my cranberry sauce yesterday.

Today I am baking pies and assembling sweet potatoes and green bean casserole.  I will also cube and toast my bread for the stuffing.

Tomorrow (Turkey Day) I will set the table while the cofee is brewing, throw the turkey in.  When it comes out I will throw the rolls in and mash the pototoes.

All I really need to do tomorrow is get the appetizers ready.

I will be making pumpkin and pecan pies tonight, I will also boil my eggs and see what other stuff I can do to save some time, I'm making sweet potato balls, I'm betting I can make those and pop them in the fridge until morning. Not sure what else if anything I can do early, but we shall see.

I picked other, lol, because I started last night. I make homemade new york style cheesecake, and I decided to add a chocolate ganache to the top. It had to sit all night last night, so it would be ready for the ganche today, so it would be finished by tomorrow. And I'm cooking the other pies today before I have to head into work. When I get home tonight, I'm starting on the rolls. And we have to brine the turkey as soon as dh gets home today. Fun, fun, fun, lol!!!

I will be baking pecan pie, pumpkin pie, cornbread for my dressing, cooking the chicken for my dressing and doing all my veggie chopping and any other prep work today, that way I can spend time with my family tomorrow.
