Christmas at Thanksgiving

We had a great time celebrating with mom, Chuck, Julie and Iris. Mike smoked his first turkey (it was delicious!) and we got to celebrate an early Christmas too! Since we do Christmas in November, it pushes me to get the tree up early, leaving me relaxed and ready to enjoy my December :)

Let the decorating begin!

 Not sure that Mike's turkey won his company turkey image contest, but he had fun trying :)

File Cleanup

Trying to clean up my own files…need to post these for the book :). One of my favorite things to do is take the kids to Springs Preserve…so much to see, do, learn, play, create, etc. They love it and so do I! Also posting pics of Mike's latest triathlon…so proud of him for all the work he puts into his body - er…racing :)

Christmas Pics!

So my mom and Chuck always come to town at Thanksgiving time and not only do we get to celebrate a nice Thanksgiving at home, but we get to celebrate "Christmas" too! I'll share more pics soon of both holidays but need to post the pictures that we took for our own holiday cards while they were in town. Both mom and Chuck let me run around yelling at everyone, checking camera settings, posing, and basically being the crazy person that I can be but they kept a smile on their faces the whole time :). Thanks mom for taking pics so I could be in the pics and thanks Chuck for getting the kids to smile….You guys are the best!
