Thanksgiving Weekend

 There were just the three of us for Thanksgiving dinner this year but we still cooked up quite the feast. Turkey, gravy, stuffing, mashed potatoes, green beans, homemade dinner rolls, and pumpkin pie.

 Sam tried out some of the food and enjoyed trying to get it in his mouth. Then it was time to find a Christmas tree.

 We went to a farm and got to take a hay ride on the tractor. There were lots of trees to choose from.

 Sam says "Mom, I am not impressed - we need bigger!"

 We finally found the perfect tree. It was about 11 feet tall but when the spindly top and few bottom branches were trimmed it would be perfect for our living room.

 Tyler sawed it off then tidied up the base.

 Then it was time to drag it to the road and wait for our tractor ride back.

Then we drove it home and put it up to acclimate a day or two before decorating.

 We also got to see the Budweiser clydesdales on our trip to the country. They were huge!

 And lastly, we had to make a quick visit to see Santa.
