We had guests arrive at 2:45 pm, an hour and 15 minutes early. It was a little tricky getting dressed and then getting all the food out warm. All in all, it was a nice Thanksgiving dinner.
Everyone left by 8:45 pm. I finished up the dishes and then promptly set out my clothes, shopping list, and coupons for the next morning. I set the alarm for 5:30 am and hit the first store a little after 6 am.
