thanksgiving weekend was fantastic!
we headed south to Doug and Denise's house in Chillicothe for thanksgiving day. this is why we moved here! to be with cousins and loved ones around the holidays... and all the other days in-between!
when you go to Doug's, you shoot guns.
that's just the way it is.
Chris was happy to help the kids shoot from the back porch.
dinner was delicious!!!
I sure love this man... and his gravy!
oh that's just Ellie giving a t rex a hug, no big deal haha
the best part of our day was when one of the dogs accidentally attacked one of the chickens. this was pretty weird, since the dogs are around the chickens all day every day and don't usually ever attack them. well, right outside the window we watched as Marc tried to wring the chicken's neck to put it out of its misery because it had a puncture in its chest... and it didn't work lol! with cousin Kate screaming, he then tried to chop its head off with a shovel and then finally succeeded with a knife. it was quite the commotion and hilarious! definitely a thanksgiving moment to remember!!!
jack and I started a puzzle the day before thanksgiving and pretty soon Chris and Ellie joined in to help and we finished it over the weekend. we put the whole thing together only to find one piece missing! that is probably one of my biggest pet peeves... I was soooo mad! after watching me freak out for a couple minutes, jack finally pulled the piece out of his pocket. that kid thinks he's hilarious!
Friday night we had a girls night at DeLauna's house for all the moms and girl cousins and it was a blast!
we had pizza and the girls decorated Marc and DeLauna's tree before we watched The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society. so good!
on Saturday we decorated the house with our Christmas music blasting and went tree hunting!
this is our new nativity that we bought in October while visiting Bart and Janie's friends. it is Amish made and all of the colors are the natural colors of the wood. pretty amazing. I love it!
after we got our tree we stopped at a little bar/restaurant called Bummies for some burgers.
we've got two different colored white lights on the tree which create this amazing stripped pattern.
just kidding.
its not amazing.
it's less noticeable during the day.
bring on the Christmas festivities!!!

That is one beautiful tree! I love that you guys get to hunt for your own tree and cut it down fresh. I bet it smells amazing. Watching the snow fall through the window in a video is just the way I like it 😉 Thanks for sharing
