Holiday Kickoff

We've just returned from a lovely feast in Gilmer...


(Out of respect for both of my loyal followers, I did not choose the photo from when he jumped off the tractor and peed on a tree without skipping a beat...like it was the most normal and natural thing in the world.)

The feasting was followed by a Gilmer Buckeye playoff football game. Sweet Keely performed perfectly.


We have enjoyed pulling out the holiday decor. We got a 10' tree and the boys got the cutest little trees for their rooms.


This is the first year our tree required scaffolding....I strung a few barstools together like 4'-high steping stones. (Finished product photos to come.)


The boys received a package from the North Pole...the Elf on a Shelf book. Santa writes that he is sending an elf to keep an eye on them. Ridge reacted sort of weird...as if his privacy was being invaded. Sawyer, like most kids, is buying it...hook, line and sinker.


We are fireside now, watching The Grinch and enjoying turkey pot pie. I hope the rest of our holiday season will be as pleasant as this Thanksgiving weekend has been!

Age Appropriate

Tere's uncle asked Ridge today if he wanted to go shoot guns. (We're in Gilmer.) Ridge declined adding, "do you think that is age appropriate?"
