Husband just got home from work (gotta keep those planes flying!) & I made a ham in the crock pot with brown sugar and pineapple, dressing with cranberries, sweet potato casserole, a corn soufflé, and a pumpkin pie! It’s just us, but we’re going to eat and watch the original Miracle on 34th Street!
