Winter Project Flop

OK so, make the noise... wah, wah! LOL! I was ready, I was gonna do them all... my Winter Projects that is.., but I don't know what happened, but none of it has happened yet. (SAD FACE) I know its not too late, but my mind is all over the place right now. November was a VERY emotional month for me, and then the icing on the cake, my father fell ill. He appears to be on the up and up so now I gotta get it together.

This year instead of having dinner at my house, we're going to go out to dinner. My thing was that I LOVE having people over. That part wasn't the problem. I just hate being stuck in the kitchen ALL DAY, all the cleaning, etc. And then I don't get to enjoy my company like everyone else does. So this year we're going out. I sent out and Evite and so far I have confirmation that 25 people are coming and everyone hasn't confirmed yet. Yay! So that will be our Annual Family Celebration of my parents nuptials.

Then on my parent's actual Anniversary we will have a simple dinner for just the immediate family and present my parents with their gifts. Here's whats on the menu:

Green Beans
Garlic Loaded Mash Potatoes
Cubed steak
Egg Nog
White Russians (Adults only children need not apply)
Caramel Rum Cake



I think I'll make the cake the night before. The rest will be simple enough to make. The hardest thing to make may be the potatoes, but even that isn't difficult to make.
