It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas

 Good Morning Friends
I am in a complete state of mumbo-jumbo right now...
Youngest son Mike is here for a week and so my routine goes right out the window...
Everything he wants, everything he needs...that all comes first.
Then I must drag out of him what home cooked meals he would enjoy mom to make for him.
He tries to resist, oh "anything is fine" he said,...I replied "please pick your favorites. 
I want to cook for you...It is my way of showing you that I love you so much.
 He was unsure, he doesn't want me to feel like I have to cook everyday he is home.
 Even though I know he loves when Mamma cooks, I know his favorites...
 thankfully we were able to settle on the menu before long.
 The meals for the week are all lined up and I have most of the ingredients.

1. Saturdays - Tacos
2. Sunday - we snacked on "picky food `& Football food the entire day..
3. Monday - Pizza - you just can't beat a Jersey Pie
4. Tuesday - Pot Roast, Mashed Potatoes & Veggies
5. Wednesday - the hubs picks, it's his birthday
6. Thursday - Thanksgiving - a typical turkey feast at Deanna's house.
7. Friday - Shore Fresh Restaurant, our favorite.
8. Saturday - he flies back home to Chapel Hill, North Carolina.

Tomorrow, we may go to the movies to see
"Deliver Me From Nowhere".

So today, we were able to decorate the house in its entirety inside, it took most of the day
- outside still needs to be done -
We played a few card games, the same as yesterday.
- tonight we had a delicious pizza. 

Monday nights sunset...
I wish you could have seen it in real time, it was epic!
Tomorrow, I'll show you pictures of the house, all decorated for Christmas.

My son is in college in upstate NY and the first meal he wants when he comes home is Jersey pizza! Your view and that sunset are spectacular. Enjoy your holiday and your time with your family!

Dear Debbie!
I know you're very excited about your son's arrival. You've already prepared and planned everything. I remember your post from last year and the joy of your son's arrival.
I wish you beautiful November days.
