It's official! He will be here in the morning!! YAY!!!!!!! I can't wait to see him!!! I may not let him go back once he's here! ;)
We have been running around getting everything ready for his visit. I am planning to make a HUGE New Year's Eve dinner in place of the Christmas dinner. We are going to have all of his favorites!!! I'll be cooking like crazy Monday! LOL
The Menu
Ham - a whole ham being cooked at the butcher's ;)
Cheesy, Spicy Corn - sweet corn with Velveeta and jalapenos - add 1 cup of milk to the drained corn (I use about 5 cans). Then chop up the Velveeta, adding several chunks at once. Keep stirring and adding Velveeta until it's nice and thick. Add chopped up jalapeno slices to taste.
Sweet Carrots - chopped carrots cooked in brown sugar and butter
Mashed Potatoes - with sweetened condensed milk instead of regular milk
Green Beans - from Margaret Holmes
Hawaiian Sweet Rolls
Cheesecake Brownies
Oreo Truffles
Pineapple Upside Down Cake
Peanut Butter Blossoms - the recipe I posted the other day
Chocolate Pie - except I use the Cook & Serve
I think that's it.I can't find my list (of course) and I have a feeling I've missed something......
Tomorrow is my wedding anniversary. The Hubby and I will be married 20 yrs. WOW!!!! We never seem to get to do much to celebrate, though. We are usually too broke from Christmas! LOL
Here is one of the dresses that I made this week. I want to help Pam out in her quest to make 100 dresses for girls in South Africa. 100!! My goodness!!!!
Silly Cloud thinks she's a baby. ;)
Oh, my goodness! I have SOOOOO much to do!!! I guess I had better get started! Anyone want to volunteer to clean my house??? Anyone??? No?? SIGH... Then I had better get off of here and get busy.
I am so excited for you! Can't wait to see how it goes. Congratulations on the anniversary. My late husband and I were married on 12/29/69 and we were married for 38 years. We were also broke after Christmas and never did much celebrating either. Have a lovely time and take lots of pictures.
