Season's Greetings

Now that the turkey fest is over, it's time to prepare for the next big thing - Christmas.  It's become tradition in our house to prepare for christmas during thanksgiving.  That means a christmas card photo session, and gathering up the energy to put up the tree and decorate the front of the house.  Mom is normally the one that leads this task and since many aren't up for it, the "ughs" and "do we have to's" start.  Well let me break this down for you.  If you order your cards over the thanksgiving holiday, not only do you beat the rush, you get a great deal - 100 cards for $15!  And the sooner you put the tree and decorations up, the longer you have to enjoy them.  So Mom might not be that bad after all!  And look what we have to show for it.

We're not all serious all the time.  Here we are being as Pink would say "too skool for cool."  Album cover perhaps?

And we can do goofy too.

And my always agile boy....

All of these photos were taken in a neighborhood near our house, with the magic of a timer and a tripod!  Who needs a professional photographer?

And those decorations I was talking about? 

From our house to yours, we wish you the happiest of holiday seasons!

 

Gobble, Gobble, Gobble!

 On this Thanksgiving, I am thankful for my husband, who cooks the entire meal every year, and for my kids, who assist him in the process.  All the while letting Mommy do whatever she likes, (chores, blogging, etc.)

To prepare Grandma's stuffing, you must chop celery

                                          

and onions

  (The aftermath of cutting onions)

You must cube the bread

and clean and cut the green beans

And the potatoes must be cut and boiled

Here is the whole thanksgiving crew

And finally.....it is time to eat!

Happy Thanksgiving to you!
