Yes we are doing it a day early. I am actually writing this early so that I have time with the family. I said in my other blog I am cheating this year and I bought a pre made meal. Well the only thing I have to do is make a relish tray. For those of you who don’t know what that is it is things like deviled eggs, celery and cream cheese, radish roses, black and green olives, pickles, cheese and crackers, quiche’, etc. Now this stuff is easy to get ready. The only real time consumer here is waiting for the eggs to boil and carving the radishes into roses. Everything else is a breeze and I’m making the kids get involved. They complain at first but end up acting like little kids helping in the kitchen and end up having fun any way. It’s easy enough to get them to help because they like having all of the little things to snack on so I simply tell them that if they don’t do it they won’t get it.. Lol. That always motivates them.
