Thanksgiving

I would have to say that this has been one of the most eventful thanksgivings that my family has ever had. For one thing, we had nineteen people in our house for the meal. Now that may not seem like a lot, but when you have to cook and clean for that many people, in a small kitchen, it begins to be quite the project. we started with the cleaning as soon as I got home from SWIC on Tuesday and on Wednesday, we started with the cooking. We made pies, casseroles, set up chairs and air mattresses and I even made my special cinnamon rolls.
The next morning went smoothly since we had done most of the cooking the day before and we only had fifteen people in the house at this point. After the tables were pushed together and the paper plates and plastic utensils were brought out, we pulled the cinnamon rolls and egg casseroles out of the oven. Believe it or not, things that come out of the oven tend to be extremely hot. I learned this the hard way as I was transfering the cinnamon rolls to a platter. Some of the gooey sugar and cinnamon dripped onto my thumb and I could not get my hand to the cold water fast enough.
After breakfast, it was time to the dishes; not too hard because we used paper plates. We then proceeded with the preparations for the Thanksgiving dinner. We ate around four or five and afterwards the dishes had to be done. I was definitely thankful for a dishwasher this weekend. The last of our guests are leaving tomorrow and I will finally have a chance to work on my homework.
