Happy Turkey Day!

Today is the day before thanksgiving....
We made it.
Give yourself a high- five because...
We survived the cleaning, the whining, the cooking, the baking, and the endless hours of stressing.
Speaking of cooking.. look what I did today.....

Festive holiday cooking brought to you by Madeline

(yes there's a piece of pie missing)

(actually, there's more than one missing)

 

oops.

How can you bake all that food and not help yourself to a piece of pie? I guess it's possible, but not for me. I like my pie.
So! Four pies, two batches of cookies, lots of deviled eggs, and a vegetable tray later.. I'm finally done. I still have to make a LOT more food tomorrow, but I got the annoying stuff out of the way.
We do Thanksgiving BIG here at the Consoer household. And to add to that.. we make every single thing home made, even down to the cocktail sauce. I always say, "Go homemade, or go home!"
If you bring a store bought pie to our door, better leave it right there. Honestly though, there is nothing on this planet better than homemade anything.. it's true!!
While I was cooking and baking, I was definitely listening to Christmas music too. no shame. Not the pop, new stuff though, it HAS to be the classic Christmas music. Like Bing Crosby, the Vince Guaraldi Trio, Charles Brown, or anything from the Trans-Siberian Orchestra is all amazing and makes me so happy. It's just so classic and perfect and original and I could listen to it over and over and over!
My favorite Christmas album though is anything Michael Buble. His voice is butter (I have a crush on his butter-like voice, does that even make any sense?)
My dream is to make it so big, I can be the kind of famous where you have more than ONE Christmas album. I want like six of them. I'm not even kidding either. I would so put a Christmas tree in the recording studio too and wreaths, and bake cookies and pies and I would go all out every single time. Guys let's aim for it!!!! Help me, ok? Keep supporting me just like you're doing so amazingly already, and once I get to the point of my first Christmas album, there will be no stopping me! To Christmas, and beyond! (Sorry, that was lame, I know)
Well that about did er for me. I don't have any other exciting news to share with you all, except that I'm so excited to stuff my face tomorrow with marvelous food. I hope you all eat too much and enjoy you're wonderful time with your families. Thanksgiving is about being thankful, so remember to count your blessings and thank God you've got friends and family to surround yourself with. He's the reason we have Thanksgiving anyways!
Love you all so much..
I'm thankful for YOU!!
