Getting ready for Thanksgiving

We are spending the Holiday at the in-laws on the beach. Don't get too excited, we probably won't even step on the beach! Remember Man and I are mountain people! It will still be beautiful to look at from their patio! I am in charge of dessert-big surprise! I will be making pumpkin pie and apple pie. Man loves my pumpkin pie and my Father-in-law loves apple pie. This year for the apple pie I am doing a crumb topping drizzled with homemade carmel sauce. I hope it turns out great! I am having a large slice of the apple pie-just to warn everyone... I love the holidays, but I am not a big fan of hosting the festivities. You know my cleaning issues? So if someone else volunteers to host, I am all up for that! Of course I will help out as much as possible! I will also step up to the plate is no one else will host. This week Man and I took Friday off, so we have a four day weekend. We are excited to sleep in 4 days in a row!!! The gym is open on Thanksgiving-I know- roll your eyes-and I am going to do a special 1 1/2 hour spin class in the morning and then yoga. All this before 11am, so the whole day is not at the gym! I want to burn the calories before I eat them! I will also participate in the traditional Black Friday shopping fun! I have a list and a game plan all ready. I love the vibe on Black Friday and the crowds don't bother me in the least. I won't head out until close to lunch time, I'm not an early bird shopper. Besides, I will go to the gym Friday morning for Power Pump and the dreaded stair climber. We will also check out the Bonita Springs Rotary Club Christmas Tree tent to see if they have trees in yet! Maybe I will have a picture on my Christmas tree posted by Monday! It should be a fun weekend! Have a great Thanksgiving and happy shopping!
