So, I met DD and DSIL for breakfast this morning and we've set the plan for who is hosting what, and who's making what.
Thanksgiving: They are going to host. I'll bring the green bean casserole (per DSIL's request), and I'll bake a pumpkin pie, and maybe an apple pie with crumble top (in honor of my late DH, whose birthday fell right around Thanksgiving it was his favorite kind of pie). For the pumpkin pie, I'm thinking of topping it like this, since DSIL is a drag racer. I'd substitute a Matchbox or Hot Wheels replica of his car, instead of the truck. Not my pic, found it on FB.
Christmas Day: I'll host, early afternoon, and will do brunch-type menu.
Egg casserole or quiche
Hash brown casserole (aka funeral potatoes), but will do a smaller batch
Baked french toast or will have my mini waffle maker out with batter prepared
Assorted meats (ham, bacon, sausage links)
Holiday breads / rolls
Fresh fruit
Juice, coffee, and mixings for mimosa's should anyone want one
Desserts -- assorted Christmas cookies; perhaps mini cherry-topped cheesecakes or individual pineapple upside down cakes, if my cookie supply is low.
