Turkey Days

We had a great Thanksgiving here in New-Tucky. We were expecting to host 3 others from Tom's office but it ended up being just us. Which, to be honest, was perfect. I of course was expecting the extra stomachs with eating the 22 pound turkey that I bought, but my freezer is full now. Hahahah!

We had ourselves a lazy holiday. We ate our spread for dinner so there was no rush on the cooking which was nice! The food was yummy and we quickly fell into our food comas and watched the old school Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. It goes without saying we have A LOT to be thankful for this year, starting with these two ham bones and the next one that's on the way!

What?!?!?!

The after shot...


Friday was a good day too. We slept in (thanks to the turkey coma the night before the boys slept til almost 8:30). Now, I admire those of you who can brave the "goat rodeo" that is Black Friday.....I just can't do it! (for all my fellow military spouses you can get the uncensored meaning of goat rodeo from your hubbies since that was Tom's description) The craziness and chaos gives me a near anxiety attack. So we had no shopping plans, just plans to move the bedrooms around, decorate for Christmas and hangout. Along with sleeping in, our day started out with another surprise. When Jack crawled out of bed and woke us up he peaked out of our window and announced that there was snow out there. It rained here for what seemed like 48 straight hours before and during Thanksgiving and they were calling for a wintery mix Thursday night. We just assumed we'd get more rain and our yard would continue to turn into a clay swamp. But Jack was right....we had snow! We bundled up the boys and headed out to play in the 1/2 inch we got. Ty wasn't too sure what to do. He was like a deer in head lights, he just stood in the same spot where I set him down and didn't move unless someone was holding his hand leading him around the yard. Hahahah! Jack on the other hand, ran all over the place making footprints as he screamed at us that he was making footprints. He really is Captain Obvious! :-) The dogs loved it too. Sadie's always been a snow lover and this was Lola's first experience in the snow. She enjoyed it WAY more than Ty. So we had a great Thanksgiving, and a great. non-goat rodeo, Black Friday. :-)

The pretty snow before all the footprints.

Poor Lola was Jack's target in the snowball war

Happy pups

Trying to get a picture of both of them looking is impossible....I think Ty saw a "SQUIRREL"
