Well, my menu has been scaled down from my earlier intentions. (I was thinking about having a totally Disney meal.) After all of the baking, candy making, craft making, etc I'm tired already!

I don't like to do a big meal - I want to enjoy the family and not spend it in the kitchen. . . so everything on my menu is "make the day ahead". At the most, I'll have to throw the casseroles in the oven before we start. Also, we're having a brunch - which is a nice way of saying "we're going to graze our way through the day!"

Strawberry Banana Bread - Whispering Canyons
Breakfast Casserole (sausage, cheese, eggs, potatoes)
Frunch - Boma
Orange Muffins
Fruit Stollen
Au Gratin Potatoes - Cinderella's Royal Table
cold shrimp
ring bologna & cheese platter
veggies & dip
crab rangoon
"Face First Dip" & tortilla chips
Dole Whips
Banana Bread Pudding- Boma

We're starting sometime between 8 & 9. DD is 10 1/2 and can wait a little longer for the rest of us to wake up. Actually, DH & I would get up earlier, but DS wouldn't get up until noon if we let him.

MsSocks is coming, so you can just park over by the barn next to her car!

Seriously, what's really nice about this is that I don't have to cook the day after either!
