Thanksgiving Surprise Completely Ruined!

we do have a big surprise tomorrow my one and only Black Friday purchase keep your eyes closed keep your eyes closed keep your eyes closed I'm so mad right now I'm so upset you drove an hour Happy Thanksgiving everyone today is Thanksgiving but not for us we're not doing Thanksgiving today and we are going to do it tomorrow because we have friends that have the same dietary restrictions as us and the same live pretty far from family we are going to get together and do a big epic gluten-free Thanksgiving I'm so excited because they also have celiac disease in their family and understand the importance of cross-contamination all the things like we are coming together going to do gluten-free all the things I am prepping today so even though we're not going to eat today I still wanted to go ahead and get some of the things out of the way so I am starting with the glutenfree free pumpkin pie I'm going the easy route on the crust I bought these um myell crusts they they're really good they're not and the ingredients aren't like horrible so I'm really excited about that we're going to do one pumpkin pie one pumpkin cheesecake I've got some organic pumpkin that I bought a long time ago and I've just started using it um got our organic evaporated milk also have eggs room temperature cream cheese it's already in the mixer um and so I guess that's you know some vanilla I think that's it I think that's all I need for this thing so we're going to get those made and then I'm going to do a couple other desserts and I might might start prepping some casseres I'm not sure we're going to see how it goes see how it feels if things are calm and I'm like feeling good in this kitchen space then we're going to go ahead and like prep them and bake them tomorrow if not if things are crazy if there are eight children in here all of a sudden uh we'll just wait and we'll do it all tomorrow and let tomorrow be that tomorrow be what it is but they'll be more occupied right John he's just look at him look at him you guys the life of a king he's just lounging over there oh he's pretending to sleep over there all right I'm going to get going because it's already 3:00 I don't know what happened a little ey [Music] Po and big for 15 minutes 50 15 minutes okay one pumpkin cheesecake going in okay the pumpkin pie pumpkin cheesecake both in the oven my work here is done just kidding but we did hit a bit of a crisis the cheese the cream cheese was not even though I like room temperatured it and um like beat it out and creamed it it still had chunks in it which just never fun you don't want to bite into like a pumpkin cheesecake and just get like a you know like a little of cream cheese so we forced it through this strainer which is like mesh very fine mesh it was a whole process it took John holding it two hands and me holding with one hand and like just using a scraper just push it through force it through but we got it we got it it's in the oven I think it's going to be delicious I hope a dumb thing again you never do a dumb thing babe don't you listen to that don't you listen to the voices in your head what would you do I bought fresh green beans because we didn't have enough canned green beans let me run to the store these will work it's just getting them ready to the French style which is what I like how do I do it just cut it in half cut it in half and cut in half again so that that's what you're going to do then um I don't know what should I do I don't know if you should do that but I can do it what if I put them in the blender like a quick little yeah that could go great or it could go really badly I mean you have to do all three of these bags yeah but maybe I just don't maybe we just have chopped and French style oh because you have cans of French sty that's not going to be enough full cans whatever you want to do babe I'm here for you what are you doing um um M muffin muffin muin there's no muffins in there pumpkin stuff you like pumpkin stuff d w [Music] w Mommy Mommy green bean my finger did you think I cut my finger you thought mommy cut my finger mhm oh I didn't I'm okay watch watch ready ready come here you eating

Danny go you love it Israel you love the tractors M mhm well today is winding down I am did not get as much done yet as I'd like to but that's okay because I don't have to stop for dinner I made dinner last night and made extra a whole extra pan of this big DD that we love so that's in the um oven now Dinner's Done locked and loaded so I'm going to cover these pies I'm going to leave them out a little bit longer before I put them in the fridge so they don't crack cuz they haven't they haven't cracked at all first time for everything so I'm going to cover them leave them out then I'm going to put in the fridge and I'm going to blanch these green beans cuz last year our green beans were a little crunchy they were not cooked all the way and then I'm going to start sweet potatoes and I guess I'll just be here all night folks John is finishing up the dishes we've got not not that many because I've been doing them in between um we do have a big surprise tomorrow my one and only Black Friday purchase might get more I would like the air doctor and I would like what else was it that I wanted like a bigger mixer but this just might not be the air for it anyway um I was going to show you what I did you probably can't see it now cuz I've done put it in here with foil on so I've got our sweet potato casserole let me just tell you I use padin recipe I just cut back the sugar a little bit cuz she's a little czy with the sugar um it's so good so I didn't do the crumb topping yet it gets this like Walnut crumb brown sugar top it's so but that'll happen tomorrow before I bake it it's just not baked it's just prepped green beans green beans two pies back there um I feel like I should have done more but I didn't okay so tomorrow is stuffing with this is the stuffing we use um just cuz it's easier then like making our own gluten-free bread and then drying it and dehydrating or whatever and then stuffing it there's too many steps for me right now so the this Le BR it's really it's just delicious and my secret sauce is a little extra butter on that M so good okay that's it um in the morning John is leaving me he's going to pick up something exciting some people our girls are going to be so pumped and then I will be here cooking oh then you have to pick up a couple things from Whole Foods for me on your way back then our friends come over and then we have the first

scrubbing the potatoes oh you can keep scrubbing them but we're going to have to set them on the other side of the sink our instant pot bucket is full it's ready to go in and get heated up he's here he's here watch out watch out the kids are eating eggs stay here children the surprise is here the surprise is here I can't wait I want to see how he wants to do this did you secure it it's SEC you got the surprise got it the girls are all waiting they're really excited you told him there was a surprise I told him there was a surprise good morning everyone Hi what's the surprise it's me I'm the surprise so it's open box and no box it's open box no box so they will see exactly what it is okay okay okay what'd you get us got a new dishwasher and it's so cool because it's got two doors I'll show you guys all the ins and out later but I saw it was the open box item like on sale they had one in a store only like an hour from us so I was like I'm just going to do this cuz we have not had a dishwasher for like a year and while it's been fine the kids have like really been good about doing dishes it uses more water it's more timec consuming like there are other things we could be doing so older two girls specifically are the ones that are going to be absolutely pumped about this right oh yeah keep your eyes closed keep your eyes closed keep your eyes closed cover your hand your here keep your eyes closed keep your eyes closed hold on keep them closed keep them closed two three what is a mini fridge a mini fridge it is a [Music] dishwasher it's a dishwasher it's a dishwasher are you not excited so y'all like washing dishes by hand do you like are you sure you don't I don't have to do the dishes tonight that's what I'm telling you that's what I you can just put dishes in a dishwasher and wash them what do you think it was yes and no she said yes and no I want a I want a puppy hi sassy well that was a little antila I guess yall no no no that was a perfect that's exactly how I would have expected yeah all right sorry guys thought you would have enjoyed that surprise a little bit more I mean I didn't really enjoy it cuz I still have to put the dishes away yeah you and Judy still do have to put the dishes away def but the cool thing is it's two dishwashers in one so you can like run the it in the morning and then run it at night like it's got a bottom drawer and a top drawer like you kind of like our our laundry how you can do the top load or the bottom I'm so mad right now I'm so upset you drove an hour here's the thing $50 less it was $50 less than a brand new one that could have been delivered to us for free I am so mad why didn't you just do that would it would be 2 weeks before it was here so I was like this will be faster and it'll save us money we I bought an open box excellent condition it said would be like new it would look new it would function like perfectly come with like new accessories or parts or whatever and not only is it you know it doesn't have a box or anything I don't know how it works but it has like a humongous dents in the front of it how do you do that and they charge it was $50 less than just buying like a full price one right now I'm try I'm on a chat with them but like that's not okay that's not acceptable and I know Best Buy has better customer service than that that I would get it if I did the like excellent is the top there's four excellent good um you know or whatever it's like like like and then there's like fair condition or whatever where you expect a dent with dents in it it the ones that were selling that were in fair condition which said noticeable dents they were like $400 less than that so get back that's what that's why I'm saying to them like I'd like either a very significant partial refund or bring me the new one and take this one back with you cuz I'm not driving it back either that's ridiculous like I'm so mad I'm so excited to have a dishwasher finally like excited enough that he woke up at 6:00 a.m. to go pick this thing up because it I was out on Black Friday it was crazy out there it actually wasn't it was the most like I know I can you show them the see anything I didn't post anything said something about yeah that was two days ago what 30 people I know that was somebody else mind sorry who your boyfriend tell the truth tell the truth now so it's like right there in the bottom of it or like where the crack where they meet it's kind of hard to see when the light's not hitting it right on the camera you can't really notice it which I guess I could see how they could maybe miss it if they weren't looking at it very good but when the light hits it it's more definitely more noticeable I'm not sure if you can see it here or not it's hard to tell on this little screen yeah you can see it more here in my picture the light was getting it better two more helpers we got some potato peelers right Israel I like potato peeling um so our mashed potatoes will be done I'm going to prep the last of the green bean casserole and bake that and and then I think after that what am I going to do oh I need to make the topping for our sweet potato casserole we'll be that um and our friend should be here I guess soon I don't know I don't even know what time it is who knows keep you updated on all the things on the dishwasher drama on the food if we eat last year it was 8:00 at night before we ate because that's just usually what happens to me oh I remember when you did this the last year with the chy and how awkward it was oh she trying to put it on it I'm trying to not touch it okay just disgusts me is there anything inside here oh all right we got another hour to go but our birdies are looking cute look at that one all sitting pretty Ashley's here she has made it I'm still here um she showed up she brought the deviled eggs and all the kids ate them already I only got four from that one you only got four okay not out of all of it but just anyway uh the birds are done I think the birds are ready to come out I'm not like 100% sure here but ooh look at that oh yeah yeah Ashley raised these chickens they came from their Farm they raised them up processed them themselves and brought them to for Thanksgiving so cool all right I'm going to get these out of the oven I got stuffing in the works mashed potatoes in the works about to throw a few other things that need to get baked and then hopefully I I mean I can go eat at a normal dinner time chicken chicken was in the oven oh yummy does anybody actually like cranberry sauce cuz I don't ever see any eat do you like cranberry sauce yeah I didn't think so I don't either who likes it does it's her favoritee one person at all of our family gatherings no ask who likes cranberry sauce it's there it's never

lovely wife made a delicious me for our family and our friends last dish the last the last dish and it's only 90 9:30 you know what I want to do right now they I want to go get in bed turn on the projector and watch a Cheesy romantic comedy I know you do on like Amazon Prime or whatever I want to get in bed turn on the projector and watch a horror fake just kidding I don't watch horror I just thought how could I like portray the 100% opposite of that you know cuz normally like it's the girl that likes to watch the cheesy true you could said an action movie that would have probably been more sorry I just went as Extreme as I could think you went real extreme how' you feel like today went Danel did I I'll this just like I feel like it was one of the best like least stressful thanksgivings that I okay actual Thanksgiving yesterday was really stressful and I don't know why it wasn't I just was like not in an okay Place mentally you know like I think my my hormones are like still kind of you know felt stuck I felt tired and I was only on four hours of sleep so like but I just felt emotional I was like sensitive to touch I just it was not a good space yesterday I'm really glad that we didn't have to do anything yesterday cuz I I think I I would have been like I think I would have had a complete breakdown at one or two points you know but today just felt like really good we had dinner at 5:00 it's pretty pretty impressive it is I like my time management skills today were so good the kids get so excited about the food you know what I mean like our girls like oh this oh it smells what was I making I'm was making something they were like chicken I think it was the pie yesterday oh they were like it smells like Thanksgiving already it's just like that it is Thanksgiving yeah that makes my heart Happy the let's be honest the only reason any of us thre at Thanksgiving is for the desert okay I don't know I'm kind of there for the food which food the stuffing uh cream corn oh I made cream corn I've never made that before uh I was just going to make regular corn but John said cream corn is one of his favorite things so I went for it did it turn out good you I do appreciate a stuffing gravy mashed potato regular corn which we didn't have which is fine but I would a blend of all of it together on my plate whenever there's just a little bit less of each you mix it all together good I'll save especially too for a gluten-free Thanksgiving we're getting better and better at it oh yeah like it's hard to tell the diff difference between a non-gluten free and a gluten-free so Kudos true I'm the pumpkin cheesecakes you're the pumpkin cheesecake Queen that's the truth it's literally the easiest thing I've ever made and maybe next time I'll pre-make my own crust and just elevate it one little bchow who are you I don't know call me Betty cracker can't stop staring at you Betty cracker of one of our other videos that's the way he looked at you
