best ever

best thanksgiving -- ever.
precious family time - it had been months and months!
yesterday was our first FREE-of-obligations saturday since the last weekend in JUNE.

i will not allow that to happen ever again.

here are a few highlights...

countless football games were played - and i do mean countless. here little man tackled daddy and was in the process of stripping the ball.

coach with silly smile peeling potatoes for Thanksgiving dinner.

this was our centerpiece at thanksgiving dinner. note: mommy didn't make the cut for what little man was thankful for this year...though "losing" did? find me ONE spartan thankful for losing.

i had a craving one morning...biscuit donuts! take a can of biscuits, deep fry 'em, cover them with powdered sugar or powdered sugar icing. just like ruthie use to make!

here was our tailgate saturday evening. grilled sirloin (amazing!), several cheeses, crackers, warm bread dipped in olive oil and parmesan.

we watched about 10 hours of football yesterday (no exaggeration).
just the 3 of us. loved every minute of it.

additional weekend highlights - got my Christmas up! i'd fix the picture below if i thought anyone was reading the blog. oh! and we saw the movie, blind side.

wow. go. see. it. now.

loved it. a real feel-good.

p.s. don't make fun the skinny tree.
