The Tuesday Before Thanksgiving

What do you write about on the Tuesday before Thanksgiving? (Writing a blog post every day has been very challenging for me this year!) The girls didn’t have school today, so we ran a couple of errands. It was mostly a pajama day, however! Pajama days are good to have every once in a while. I’m not hosting Thanksgiving, so I don’t have to worry about cooking and cleaning. I do need to make pies for Thanksgiving, so tomorrow is pie-making day. We are going to make pumpkin pie, a key lime pie, and a cherry pie. Ed has the easiest job of all; he’s supposed to buy the beer!

The pie picture is from our pie making day in 2012! If I remember, I will blog about our pie making tomorrow. 🙂

Busy Airport

I went to pick up my sister from the airport today! Yay! The airport, of course, was super busy and the traffic was horrific. What should have taken 40 minutes took an hour and a half. It’s always that way at Thanksgiving and Christmas. Lily and Emmy were so excited to see their aunt because we didn’t get to see her this summer.

Since it took so long to get home from the airport, it took a while to get the girls to bed. So much excitement! And now it’s time for me to go to bed, too. Coming from California, though, means that my sister will probably stay up past our bedtimes. She has to get used to Central time, so we gave Lily and Emmy strict warnings. Don’t wake up Aunt Meredith too early!
