This is probably my favorite shot from last year.... well one of my favorites. 

Our Christmas Tree

Yesterday we went and cut down our Christmas tree.....

I got to document it while the others did all the work.... my sister cut hers as well so they formed a tree train to carry them out. 

Here is the finished product.....

Christmas Decorations

We decided to head to the Christmas Dove today to pick out an ornament for Nick. We took him last year and he picked a train. The ornaments can be personalized so we added his name and the date. I think we have started a new tradition. This year he wanted a hammer but we could not find one so we picked out another train.... two of his favorite things. I saw an ornament I just had to have too..... And on the way home we stopped to pick a wreath for our front door.

Enjoyed our extra long weekend but hate when they come to an end. Tomorrow will be brutal..... the day will be very long. Can't wait till some much needed vacation time at Christmas.

Happy Thanksgiving

I have some much to be thankful for..... my awesome man and our wonderful son.... my family and all my friends. I am also thankful for a great all natural home cooked meal. 

Here is our monster turkey.... 38 pounds

Now this is not a small platter and these legs take up the whole plate....

Yes we will be eating turkey everything for the next month or so but that's ok, at least we know we won't go hungry.

Hope you all had a wonderful day with your families and friends.

Turkey day

Today was the day we butchered our turkeys. It is a sad day yet a joyful day..... it is the ending of its life but it will be feeding our family on Thursday and probably Friday and Saturday and ...... at 38 pounds we will get a lot of use out of the big guy and for that I am extremely thankful. 

Here is the 40 pound tom that went to Mike's sister ..... 

Kaleidoscope

Nick and I went to the Kaleidoscope Children's Museum today to see my good friend perform for the kiddos and sign copies of his new book - Don't Play Catch with Jelly. Fun book and a great time for Nick. I recommend this place for kid's age 1 till about 6. I didn't think I would get Nick to leave.
