Response from Sandy-Claus


OK, I am still laughing over your post Jen and decided to publicly respond. For those of you that haven't been to her blog, you can check it out and see why I have responded this way. http://mostlyjen.blogspot.com/
Sprinkles cupcakes......we can get them at Fashion Island in Newport Beach. And we can do that either before or after we eat at Pinkberry because it too is in Fashion Island. Now, the question is Ruby's on the pier. We can leave mid-afternoon on Sunday to head for the beach and plan to have dinner there on Sunday night because we have to eat!!!! That may be the only time available since we'll be at the Happiest Place on Earth on Monday and Tuesday and then back to the desert Wednesday morning. That means that we'll have to shop on Wednesday for the ham and make the scallop potatoes except that may not work since we have to go mall shopping on Christmas Eve day and out to dinner that night. Hmmmm, guess I'll have to get the ham in advance. Now I think that about covers all your wants from Sandy-Claus. The question is have you been a good girl this year????
Here is our Thanksgiving menu:
Hilton Waterfront Beach Resort in Huntington Beach is holding a lavish buffet feast on Thanksgiving Day in the resort's ocean-view Cielo Mare Ballroom. Some of the all-you-can-eat dishes prepared by chef Jeff Littlefield include pumpkin soup with ginger, winter beets with tangerines, Alaskan crab legs with mango cocktail sauce, fresh oysters, sushi, crab cakes, free-range turkey with giblet gravy, roasted prime rib with cabernet jus, maple-glazed pork loin, sourdough stuffing with sage and Spanish sausage, basil-roasted lamb leg, pumpkin pie, and tiramisu with amaretto.

I am sorry you can't be with us for this too but maybe next year. I hear it is even better than before. I will leave you in charge of Nan and the cookie making although I think she might be convinced to come over and help us. And even if we don't eat dinner at, we can always stop at Casuelas Café and get their guacamole, salsa and chips. Does this cover everything now?

Maybe we should leave Disneyland a little earlier Tuesday and head home so we can get a good start on Christmas Eve! That tree better be done when I get there because we're going to be really busy this year!

I was side tracked last night before I was able to add a comment. It looks like you'll have an awsome christmas week. I am attempting to work on a few details that will make our week in California memorable as well.

Jen - I'll be working on the tree today. I started unpacking the ornaments last night. I'm going to do a couple of themed trees so that means unpacking all the Hallmark ornaments from their little boxes without destroying the boxes.

Rana - We will have a great time and you will too, I'm sure. You'll be in a fun place with lots of places to visit. I don't think one can ever visit the SD Zoo or Sea World too many times. Those places are probably decked out for Christmas. Too bad you don't like going to Disneyland. It is even more magical at Christmas.
