We normally host and while bummed we won’t be seeing family I am not stressed and anxiously cleaning and prepping for tomorrow. The house isn’t perfect but clean. I’m cooking the same sides but am so much less stressed this year. I’m watching movies and crafting. I still have a lot to cook tomorrow but since it’s just the three of us it’s pretty relaxed. We don’t have a big family but still enough to stress I guess.
So what’s everyone up to? I hope everyone is having a good night and has a great day tomorrow no matter how you are celebrating.

Yes we played clue, my husband baked a pie and my kids are suddenly obsessed with logic puzzles online. We are normally rearranging furniture and stressing about hosting 20+ people. Kind of a nice change of pace honestly!

Watching the Amazing Race and relaxing. It's just three of us home this year. We usually travel to my sister's house in Ohio so this is much more laid back. I did all my usual day before prep throughout the day today so tomorrow will be relaxed as well.

Yes. Thanksgiving was cancelled because we didn't want to risk exposing my 81 year old dad to anything. Normally we'd be last minute shopping, cleaning, dragging out the extras tables and chairs. Tonight is totally chill. Some Xmas decorations are up and the fireplace is on.

I cooked for hours today, prepping things for tomorrow. Dh went to pick up ds2. We all went to a drive-in to see the new The Croods movie. It was painfully awful, but the boys LOVED it. It was their first drive in.
I then had a pecan pie to make after we got home. It is in the oven now.
Tomorrow, I only have to make the rolls, dressing, turkey and reheat the various sides that I’ve made over the past few days.
Sitting here with Dh watching last night’s Stephen Colbert!

Yes! I just finished ten straight days/nights of work and now I don’t have to be back until Monday. I’ve got warm pajamas on, which will be my uniform for the next two days at least. Dinner tomorrow will be pretty easy to throw together since my kids aren’t that discerning, and I’m making a list of romantic comedies and holiday movies I want to watch 😁.

I finished putting together a scrapbook page that’s been sitting on my desk for a while and think I won the battle with my ATG (it kept rolling wrong and getting jammed took it apart and “fixed” it twice to happen again so removed the empty tape and restrung it snd it seems to be working now. I’ve also cut out a bunch of stamped images including gnomes that I need to color in. Not in the mood to color them right now so trying to figure out something else crafty to do. I may continue crocheting a pumpkin - I’m really behind lol.

We baked a pecan pie, corn bread for tomorrow’s dressing, made the dough for my grandma’s potato rolls, and then made the pie crust for the apple pie we will make tomorrow.
This evening we had a nice relaxing dinner of finger foods and played several rounds of Uno.

I still have a mess on the dining room table from a day making cards and the house isn't clean, but I've moved to watching TV for the rest of the evening. I can clear the table in the morning and don't have a lot of heavy prep to get dinner ready partly because DH takes care of the turkey.

We are still doing the full meal, and, no one to bring food, so, it’s all on me this year. Luckily, my DD is 14 now and a huge help in the kitchen. She and I cooked all day today, and really only have the turkey, rolls, and stuffed mushrooms to do tomorrow. I have thoroughly enjoyed spending the day with my girl.

Yes, I was thinking I don't have to be stressed out about screwing up dinner since it's just us! It stinks that we can't have anyone (Thanksgiving is my husband's holiday, so we do it with his family) over for dinner. But we are so used to this year not getting anything fun, so we are used to it now. Not sure what we will do for Christmas. We usually go to my inlaws house (they are 4 hrs. away). Then after that we go to my parents (they are 5 hrs. away). I don't want to expose anyone or get my family exposed, so we may do virtual. I guess we will see if the numbers are much better by Christmas!
My husband loves to cook Thanksgiving dinner, but I do half of it. We just use his relatives recipes! I always get my feelings hurt because his family thinks it's all him cooking. So I wont have to worry about that this year!  |

I did some prep work earlier today for tomorrow (DD is hosting us). Now I'm watching Sugar Rush from last year.

Me. I normally host but there's no one coming over tomorrow so the house doesn't have to be company ready, I didn't have to do any major grocery shopping and I'm not dealing with dozens of texts or calls an hour. Yeah... definitely enjoying catching up on my DVR recordings.

My brother is picking up a turkey dinner from Safeway's for 7 of us. I'm making a side dish of veggies and maybe a cornbread if I can figure out what would fit into the IP to make it. We're going over just to pick up our portion and drop off whatever I end up making and then we will zoom for dinner and watch each other eat,  DS took a few days off work so today I tried a new BBQ ribs recipe and they liked it, so it's a keeper.

played cribbage with my husband, and then took my iPad to bed at about 9:00 p.m. to watch random videos.

So peaceful. Time off work, no company for dinner, just us. Last night D/H made a Pecan Pie. This morning I will make stuffing and fluffed sweet potatoes for me. D/H will make his own stuffing and potato as he does not like my sides and I do not like his. We have been doing it like this forever.
I will spend today and tomorrow eating Thanksgiving food, playing video games and building some Lego. No social pressure, a perfect holiday!

With no company to work around I just decided to whip up a quick batch of fudge. I needed more chocolate.

We are!
It’s super slow today, we are all doing our own thing for a bit, TV, games, reading (I paid bills and did a bit of online shopping) walks and our house smells amazing!
We decided not to prep a darn thing before today except brining the turkey Sunday, and it’s been so nice.
No stress. No one upset, angry or harried (me!)
We even did our weekly laundry today and folded while watching movies.
I did all the cooking and baking with no help from family, but because it’s just us and no extended family, we are chill and relaxed.
While we miss our family (most of them got together) we are having a good day.

I am just hanging out. We didn't have anywhere to go, because of the pandemic and w/only 2 people eating we're having a simple dinner.
