Yes! I bought our turkey last weekend! Your dinner sounds like it it is going to be delicious. So glad your family will be together this year! Mine are scattered all over the U.S. :0)
Julie ~ Been away a while, but now with surgery over and feeling restored and refreshed, I'm back to visiting my special blog friends.
You menu is marvelous...your pictures perfect. Haven't we all loved Norman Rockwell's Thanksgiving Dinner.
Your family must be so excited to have the holiday with you.
Oh YUM!!!! Your Thanksgiving menu sounds wonderful. What a great family you have. We all have so, so much to be thankful for. Have a great Thanksgiving, and enjoy!
Looks like such a wonderful, festive menu, Julie! Our Thanksgiving will be a quieter one...just a couple of family members joining us, and my oldest girl won't be able to come home until Christmas, so just a small one this year--no less delicious, though, I hope!
Wishing you a wonderful week of preparation and anticipation of loved ones arrivals, dear friend!
Julie
Your menu sounds delicious! You will have a crowd, won't you? I love that. We will have a small gathering this year, but I still love to make it special. Enjoy the time...and all the preparations! Whew!
You're going to have a wonderful Thanksgiving, I can tell.
The menu sounds delish!
We're having a special Thanksgiving this year. It will be our first year with a in-law. Our new daughter in law :)
We have all the usual fixing planned and a few extras.
Enjoy your weekend.
An olive for every finger!!!!

Wow! You get to have all your family there. That is so wonderful!
I'm excited for you.
The menu looks divine. Prime rib! Yum. Hopefully there is some horseradish for that stuff.
Are you making all the pies? You are amazing.
I look forward to seeing all the pictures.

Julie,
Praying about that house. Glad you were still in it to celebrate this great Thanksgiving coming up!!! God's timing is perfect. I had wanted to friend you in Facebook but couldn't find a place to add in your account. Is there a secret, or are you not taking on any more? Hugs! ps - like your little rock! :-)
Love all of the pictures of the grandchildren, so precious. Really like the saying about spoiled children, what are grandma's for but to spoil them, in a good way!
Turkey is bought, we will be having two Thanksgivings one with my brother and his family and then on Sunday here with our grandsons. Love this time of year!
I'm unsuccessful. :-( I'll let you do it from your end after all the holiday events are rested... HUGS Julie! :-) Julie Smith (FB)

Hi pretty Julie! Oh, it would be such a treat to be at your house during Thanksgiving. I would just sit back in a corner and watch all of your grands! I have to tell you, your grandchildren are all adorable, but seeing Sophie with paint all over her made me almost wet my pants! ;)
