Pre-Thanksgiving prep and a birthday

My Thanksgiving preparation is very simple: Clean. Cook. Repeat ten times.

We made desserts today and cleaned the house again. Everything went fine except for a last minute run to the store to pick up some serving platters. It was a pretty busy and tiring day. Later at night, E took us out to some yummy Thai food for Tita F's birthday. We got her a cake and sang her happy birthday at home.

Went to bed around 1 pm after loading my second set of dining plates into the dishwasher because I'm determined to have everyone eat out of real china instead of paper plates tommorow. I'd like to have cloth napkins and wine glasses out too but I don't have enough for everybody.
