Name that Plant

Let's play name that plant. All of these plants are located in our backyard. How many can you get right?

Thanksgiving 2010

We headed down South to spend Thanksgiving with our family. Like every year, we did two Thanksgiving meals on Thursday. First at my parents' house, then at Jason's.

Our day started pretty early with the girls in the kitchen...

Momma making the gravy.

Melanie helping wash the dishes.

While the boys relaxed in the den...

Jason & Trey.

Justin and Dad.

Once the rest of the family arrived, we headed out to the porch for lunch...

This will be the last Thanksgiving pic with just the six of us. Next year, there will be a son/ grandson/ nephew in the mix. :)

Then we headed to Jason's for lunch #2 and games...

And football.

And finally, we headed back to my parents' house to watch the Aggie game. Everyone was pretty pooped...

One tired pooch.

Overall, a very nice, relaxing Thanksgiving. Only three more weeks until Christmas. I love this time of year. :)

Day at the Ranch

Instead of hitting up all of the Black Friday sales, we spent our day after Thanksgiving at the Family H Ranch. I think that was a much better choice by far.

There was wildlife...

The deer are basically pets. They don't get startled by much.

Mama and baby.

This little bunny was pretty spoiled too.

Cute 'lil guy.

There was relaxing...

The boys.

Jase, Preston, Uncle R.

There was shooting...

Jason was the best shot.

I tried. Wasn't too good.

Kelley was a little trigger happy. Hehe. :)

Jordan shooting at cups.

And there was fishing...

Getting ready.

The crew. The tank was incredibly low and nobody caught anything. But we tried. :)

Christmas Decorations

In the little time I managed to pull myself away from our week-long free HBO and Cinemax movie channels this weekend, we put the Christmas decorations. I'm looking forward to enjoying them over the next month.

Our new Christmas tree.

Radar looking very serious posing next to the tree.

Our little Christmas tree in the living room.

Nativity set, Advent calendar, and stockings - one for me, one for Jason, and one for Radar.

Snowman table runner.

Fall flowers are out and Christmas berries are in.

View of the Christmas tree from outside. If you look closely, there is also a poinsettia wreath and a couple of yard decorations.

Also on the docket this weekend: 2nd ever Houston Re-Market, darts at Ferryn & Steve's, Aggies BTHO Nebraska, & Harry Potter. I meant to get some work done as well, but that didn't quite end up happening. Looks like it will be a long two days before my Thanksgiving break.
