6. Our family is scattered all over the place |
|
so when we get together (usually just twice a year--Thanksgiving and Christmas) we all chip in and make it really special.
Usually my Mom does the cooking and the food is a little more...simple. But she's ill this year, so we're hosting the big family to-do at our house instead, and I wanted to make it super-special.
Of course, now I have to spend the next 5 days detail-cleaning my house, clearing all the appliances and clutter off of the dining room sideboard, and figuring out where I'm going to get some more chairs. I'm tempted to inform my mother that she has to bring her dining room chairs with her when she comes, because we only have 4! lol
