My mom, my mil, my sil and her kids and a childhood friend of my SIL&#8217;s and her kids gathered to bake and decorate.  I brought ingredients to make my mom&#8217;s orange balls &#8211; super simple and yummy!  My MIL brought ingredients to make her pumpkin bread.  My mom brought some chocolate turtle cookie dough.  My SIL had baked sugar cookies for everyone to decorate and had purchased a gingerbread house kit.  She also melted various chocolates and some caramel and we dipped pretzels in it!  She also had set out meat, cheese and spinach dip for everyone!  It was fun and yummy!<\/p>\n<p><strong>TODAY<\/strong>, my family is coming here for Turkey dinner and gift exchange.  My mom, my sister her hubby and three kids, my brother, his wife and daughter.  There will be 14 of us!  I&#8217;m looking forward to this!!  In fact, I need to get going so I can put the turkey in the oven! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p><strong>TOMORROW<\/strong>, after church and before the evening candlelight service for CHRISTmas eve, we are having some family friends over for lunch.  Hopefully it will be a quiet afternoon.  There will only be 9 of us.<\/p>\n<p>Then, <strong>MONDAY<\/strong>, we will have a quiet morning with our kids and maybe my mom.  Then midday Eric&#8217;s family will be coming over for soup and a gift exchange.  I&#8217;m going to make clam chowder and possibly Turkey vegetable soup with the leftover turkey from today.  And, I&#8217;ve got a can of Campbell&#8217;s Chicken Noodle for some finicky kids (mine).  I think there will be 15 of us as the biggest part of Eric&#8217;s brothers&#8217; family won&#8217;t be here (his two daughters, oldest son, and his girlfriend).<\/p>\n<p>Ok &#8211; I&#8217;ve put off getting going long enough and I&#8217;m sure you are all bored lol!  But it&#8217;s given me a chance to gather my thoughts!  I can&#8217;t believe I forgot the cranberry sauce again!! argh!!<\/p>\n<div class=\"sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled\"><div class=\"robots-nocontent sd-block sd-social sd-social-official sd-sharing\"><h3 class=\"sd-title\">Share this:<\/h3><div class=\"sd-content\"><ul><li class=\"share-facebook\"><div class=\"fb-share-button\" data-href=\"http:\/\/osbornz.net\/amy\/?p=481\" data-layout=\"button_count\"><\/div><\/li><li class=\"share-pinterest\"><div class=\"pinterest_button\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fosbornz.net%2Famy%2F%3Fp%3D481&#038;media=http%3A%2F%2Fosbornz.net%2Famy%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2014%2F10%2Fcropped-poppy-150x150.jpg&#038;description=Three%20Parties%20in%20Three%20Days\" data-pin-do=\"buttonPin\" data-pin-config=\"beside\"><img src=\"\/\/assets.pinterest.com\/images\/pidgets\/pinit_fg_en_rect_gray_20.png\" \/><\/a><\/div><\/li><li class=\"share-twitter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/share\" class=\"twitter-share-button\" data-url=\"http:\/\/osbornz.net\/amy\/?p=481\" data-text=\"Three Parties in Three Days\" data-via=\"Knitnmom\" >Tweet<\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-tumblr\"><a class=\"tumblr-share-button\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tumblr.com\/share\" data-title=\"Three Parties in Three Days\" data-content=\"http:\/\/osbornz.net\/amy\/?p=481\" title=\"Share on Tumblr\"data-posttype=\"link\">Share on Tumblr<\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-print\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-print sd-button\" href=\"http:\/\/osbornz.net\/amy\/?p=481\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to print\" ><span>Print<\/span><\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#\" class=\"sharing-anchor sd-button share-more\"><span>More<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-end\"><\/li><\/ul><div class=\"sharing-hidden\"><div class=\"inner\" style=\"display: none;width:150px;\"><ul style=\"background-image:none;\"><li class=\"share-email\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-email sd-button\" href=\"mailto:?subject=%5BShared%20Post%5D%20Three%20Parties%20in%20Three%20Days&body=http%3A%2F%2Fosbornz.net%2Famy%2F%3Fp%3D481&share=email\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to email a link to a friend\" data-email-share-error-title=\"Do you have email set up?\" data-email-share-error-text=\"If you&#039;re having problems sharing via email, you might not have email set up for your browser.
