Thanksgiving weekend extravaganza!

We had a marathon weekend of fun!
We started it off with
lots of game playing
Rumikub
is our game of choice this days.

Then we had a fun visit with the Cannon's (minus Paul because hunting is more important I guess...ha)
It's fun to just pick up where we left off !
(Jamie and the kids
and my Trixta and her kids.)

Good Friends + Lunch (cafe rio) + chit chat = one of my favorite things!

Thanksgiving day was full of cooking (mostly Kyle of course),
shopping the ads, watching parades & football.
Kyle makes the most fabulous, juicy Turkey ever!

After a full day of Black Friday shopping we had a major car accident RIGHT by our house.
There was 4 cars involved and 4 people went to the hospital. It was caused by 4 stinkin
teenagers who thought it would be a smart idea to run a stop sign!

Then Saturday we had to say goodbye to G & G as they headed on their journey home.
We decided to join some cousins up at their cabin. We had the best time
and kids got some sledding in.To top off the weekend we decorated our
Christmas tree!
It was a little more tender than usual this year it being our first Christmas
in our new home. As we put up ornaments that are mostly handmade from
our friends in Tucson & Seattle, missing them and hoping they all have a wonderful Christmas this year too!

Looks like a fab Thanksgiving...I was salivating just looking at Kyles turkey...I am sure it was a winner, as always!! It was so great to see you guys...next time we wont let Paul go fishing so he can join the fun :)
And yes, we miss you madly...as I was decorating my tree last night, everytime I hung an ornament from your party I started to miss you.

Yes, looking at your tree reminds me of all your ornament parties. I will truly miss that this year. And as I was unpacking all my holiday stuff I found a bag of ornaments that I bought last year at the "after Christmas sales" so that I would be prepared for this year. Duh...so either somebody better throw an ornament party or I will just have to attach an ornament to the top of every gift I give away this year :)
