Christmas arrives......

Mary Jane and I put up our Christmas tree and some outside decorations today. Yes, the tree is artificial.

We had to get our decorations up just a bit earlier this year, as we will be in Mexico during the holiday.

Today we had beautiful weather while putting up the decorations, sunny skies and about 50ºF.

Very nice for late November.

This is one of Mary Jane's Christmas figurines, St. Lucia, http://www.sweden.se/templates/cs/CommonPage____11421.aspx.

Thanksgiving at Bill and Tammi's

We had our Thanksgiving get together at Bill, Tammi and Soren's house today.
Bill had everything planned out and did the vast majority of the food. Everything was great.
Mom and Dad were there, as were Carl and Sue. Issac is home from Western and came over with Michael, just before we ate.



Here is our buffet. Bill did a brined turkey that he added fresh herbs to before heat roasted it.












This is the turkey, carved and ready to eat.








These are the pies that MJ and I brought. You can tell how hard I worked on these babies.












Finally, here is Issac, Grandma and Michael.






We hope that all of our family and friends had a great day and will have a relaxing rest of the weekend.

We love you all.
