Up early to put the turkey in the oven, back to bed, up again, peeling potatoes, putting the dressing made the night before in the oven, setting the roll dough out to rise, putting the green bean casserole together. Salads and pies made, just need to let the rolls rise and bake them so they come out hot from the oven when are ready to eat.
