I spent all morning in the kitchen (where I DO SO enjoy being) putting together some yummy goodness for the celebration :)
Pumpkin Trifle
Peanut Crunch Cake (the corners of this cake are so yummy as they brown a bit more than the middle)
Buttermilk Pie (which if I don't bring there are some upset people...LOL)
Candy that the children love so much :)
I am really looking forward to our celebration-perhaps that is why I am in the holiday spirit :) Of course I am always in the holiday spirit at this time of year and those that have read my blog all the years I have been blogging know how much I REALLY get into Christmas :)
NO stitching yet today...BUT still stitching on Block 5 of AaHRH until Nov 1, when the ornament challenge starts. I couldn't miss stitching with everyone on the starting day of the challenge.
Autumn at Hawk Run Hollow
Designer: Carriage House Samplings
Fabric: 40ct. Sand Dune
Fibers: DMC & Thread Gatherer Silk n colors
Start Date: 6-22-2011
OOOOH, I have lot's of interest in the Secret Santa...be mindful though-I never said it would involve anything I have stitched :) That's why I am calling it Secret Santa as you do not know what you may receive-but you will not be disappointed in the contents of the gift.
Thanks so much for visiting with me :) I so appreciate each person that leaves a comment. Please do come again!
hugs and love,

Yummmm! Everything looks delicious Becky! Wishing you all a very Merry Day and safe deployment and return of your loved one.

I will definitely keep your deploying family member in my prayers. All that food looks so yummy! Good for you all to celebrate now so you can all be together. Love your stitching too, of course.
Goodies look yummy.
I think this piggy block is my favorite. I love all the uses for apples. It reminds me of Autumn and picking apples with my departed mother. She was like a little kid when we went to the orchard each Fall to pick.
Oh wow,that celebration food looks so delicious.I am a u.k follower but I love seeing the preparations made to celebrate Thanksgiving. I hope you all have a wonderful time and will keep your deploying relative in my thoughts.
Now you've done it, made me hungry, that is! Maybe today's blog needs to be recipes, lol.
I do hope you have a great day tomorrow with your family. The food looks fabulous, never tried a pumpkin trifle, is it good??, the peanut crunch cake looks very tasty!!
You really sound like you are looking forward to your celebrations, and seem happy and cheerful, which is wonderful xx
I wish your relative a safe deployment and safe return home to his family. I will keep him and your family in my prayers.
Hope you managed to get some stitching in today, I'm trying to finish off bits that I have on the go so I'm all clear for the 1st Nov!!!!!
Love to you all

What a wonderful family time! :D Hope you all have fun.
I know you have spoken of your Buttermilk Pie before but I just can't imagine how it would taste.
The snow continues to dump on us here in NJ and our beloved trees are falling right and left. :(
But, I did scoot out for a great late lunch and the ingredients for oxtail soup! Yum!
Hope you have a wonderful time. Your cooking looks great. Hope your relative has a safe deployment.
Oh Becky wishing you a wonderful day tomorrow with your family. The food looks fabulous especially your trifle.
I wish your relative a safe deployment and safe return home to his family. I will continue to you and your family in my prayers.
Much love to you all xx
I have no idea what buttermilk pie is, but it sounds scrumptious.
I think I need to google a recipe :)

Happy family holiday! May you enjoy all the blessings of the day!

Mmm yummo, looks like you are going to have a feast. I just looked at all your family photos in your sidebar, what lovely shots and ones to treasure. You have such a lovely family Becky (even if some of them are "Goobers")they look pretty cute to me!
Hugs to you and yours
Blessings and many thanks to the family member deploying. They are all so brave, to give up a "normal" life so the rest of us can have one. And the food looks yummy, especially that trifle!
Have a wonderful combination holiday. I hope all enjoy there time with your departing family member. God bless them for their service to this nation.
Everything looks so yummy! Your Christmas type foods are so different from what we serve here, I love it.

That is a sweet idea for him! He gets to have a great time with his family and not miss anything before he leaves.
Everything looks amazing! I've never tried buttermilk pie before.
Hope you're having a great weekend!
I hope that your celebration was wonderful.
All your treats look amazing.
The pumpkin trifle looks so yummy, I hope you had a wonderful time celebrating.
I can't wait to see what you'll be stitching when Nov 1st rolls around, I keep changing my mind :)
Best wishes and happy stitching to you.
Becky --
Everything looks so delicious! I hope you all have a wonderful day of celebrations!
Block 5 is looking really good!
HUGS to you:))
Your buttermilk pie reminds me of my Indiana sugar cream pie! I get the same lip-stuck-out reaction if I don't make it. Funny how families all have their favorite sweets. I'm glad you got to celebrate together!
My DIL loves pumpkin so last year I was forced, I mean coerced to make pumpkin fudge. Didn't have a candy thermometer so that was rather interesting. However, it was delicious. The receipe's online somewhere but I don't know where my husband found it unfortunately.
I am sure it tasted as wonderful as it looks. I bet your house smelled fantastic. God bless the young man going off to Afghanistan.
Sending big hugs to him and his family. and the food looks very yummy. especially the peanut crunch cake, would you mind sharing the recipe?
Everything looks amazing, as usual.
Can you share the recipes??? The kids candy made me think of one my mother makes that she calls "white trash".
