Lindsey and I spent this years Thanksgiving out in Pike River...or Lindsey's parents place. It was a rather quiet affair, with only Lindsey's parents, her sister, and nephew Joey, but it was really nice. Becky cooked some great food for dinner and later in the weekend Paul cooked up some of the venison he nabbed this year. I also had a good time driving the Gator around (helping Paul haul wood into the house). Lets let the pictures speak for themselves...
A week ago, Amanda, of former Peace Corps Volunteer from our city in China fame, drove all the way from Chicago to come visit for the weekend. Lindsey forced us to go stand in the freezing cold to watch the Christmas City of the North Parade in Duluth, but it was fun. There was even a camel in the parade (picture didn't turn out)!
The chef and turkey cutter at work.
Its Lindsey and Joey. Joey's been a lot of fun lately, he's finally old enough to sit up, stick his tongue out, and eat blended peas, he's almost ready for college.
Here's the tree that Lindsey and I decided on for Christmas. It may only be November 25th...but we have a tree in our house!
Paul was quite excited about the prospect of having a picture of the Gator up on the website.
Lastly, here's the fully lighted tree. We only have about 20 ball ornaments on it so far, were still waiting on the box of goodies from NY to finish it off. We had a great weekend for Thanksgiving (great food Becky, thanks!) and we both can't wait to get to NY for Christmas, only one month away!
