Happy Thanksgiving

We had a very nice day at home today. We started with brunch this morning and then pulled all the Christmas decorations out and the kids put up their tree upstairs, while I was restringing the tree downstairs :( that was not a fun job. I had to cut all the old lights off b/c half of the lights didn't work and I couldn't just replace them because they were the frosted lights. So I/we (Alysha helped me) spent half the day replacing them, argh! Tonight I cooked a traditional Thanksgiving dinner of turkey, mashed potatoes, salad and dressing (mom you should be very impressed) my mom always makes the dressing, since the rest of us don't really know how. It was actually pretty good, still not as good as my Mom's. We topped it all off with pumpkin pie.
Darrell and the boys spent a good part of the day working on the zip line. Hopefully it will be done soon.putting up the tree

Practice making that dressing and sooner or later it will be just like mom's.
Looks like you had a nice Thanksgiving.
