Preparations for Celebration!

It is Thanksgiving week and we are preparing!


I made the Company Mashed Potatoes, Sweet Potato Casserole and Cranberry Orange Relish!
They are all sitting in Amber's 'extra' fridge just waiting for Thursday.

The quads have taken to a new schedule and I am amazed!
Amber latest blog post: Quad Squad Feeding Frenzy tells it like it is!



Amber has added yet another clever piece of equipment to the mix!
ALL the babies love it - but this may well be Kailey's favorite!!


You can just barely thread your way through the house with all the swings, mats and baby paraphernalia around here! Before you blink twice it will all be replaced with soccer balls and tennis rackets!
This special time of infancy does not last long!

Tomorrow Louis Dean and I will be spending the day in Quadville - he will be making dinner rolls for Thanksgiving and I will be preparing the veggies for the dressing......as well as taking care of quadruplets!

I love the anticipation as well as the preparations for Thanksgiving.
Somehow I have never been able to bring myself to decorate for Christmas until AFTER Thanksgiving.
That may change next year - I don't know.

But tonight I am enjoying the comforts of having a menu, schedule, and to do list and know that all is going as planned!


It is even LOOKING a bit like fall here in the Houston area!
You don't see much color in these parts so I was happy to spy THIS!

One more 'Sneak Peek' at the recent photo shoot......
(this one is MINE! the last one was Amber's!)


Hope YOU are enjoying this week of Thanksgiving!

  5. Sounds like you're going to have a wonderful Thanksgiving. Y'all have alot to be thankful for this year! That was a good idea to make some of the food in advance too. It seems there is always so much to do. The quads look so cute in their little "playground" in the living room. It's a good thing she has room for so much stuff. I'm not sure I would! I would probably have to move out extra furniture or something. Ya gotta do what ya gotta do though! Whatever it takes to make the babies happy is the most important. Happy babies....happy family!

  9. Wishing you a very Happy Thanksgiving Linda. I'm glad we have ours earlier, this way if I was in the mood to decorate I could have my tree up already; the mood hasn't quite hit me yet with all that's been transpiring.

    The quads are so adorable, I love your last photo, that's so precious!

    The food looks delicious and I'm sure your meal is going to be amazing!

    Have fun in the kitchen... if you make it there while you're on quad duty! :-)
