holidays and birthdays

What did you do with your leftovers from Thanksgiving? We got three dinners out of it, which all had leftovers:

• Mashed potato soup with rolls and salad (see pic)
• Stuffed pork chops with sweet potato casserole
• Turkey pot pie (using the turkey, of course, and the gravy)
  

I also found a recipe for butternut squash muffins.

Well, that holiday came and went and now we're preparing for Christmas. But first we're getting ready for E's birthday. She has her party for her little friends this weekend. She is really looking forward to it, asking about it several times a day. She keeps saying "party on 5". She is counting down the days using her advent calendar.
