>Tree!

Our first Christmas tree came out of ditch. Phil cut it down while no one was looking, then we ran for it. It’s a little sparse and brown in some places, but we’re both real proud of it. Prouder still of the stand he engineered for it, but unfortunately for all of you this is hidden under it’s skirt. Sorry. It is something to see though.

This was Phil’s idea of helping me decorate our tree. You don’t know it but he’s listening to a nerdy financial talk radio program he can’t get enough of. Not very festive, but I made it all look so fun he eventually joined in.

Me, making it look fun.

Phil joining in.

Don’t be fooled, there’s nothing glamorous about salting a dead cold bird, I know I make it look fun. This was my first Thanksgiving away from my mama. However, I was a big girl and I think I pulled it off!
My beautiful turkey before Phil got a hold of it.
This was a first for Phil too. He looked so calm and collected….at first.
Phil’s mom and dad, Neil and Verna, came up for a few days. It was good to have family to share the day with.

 

And for dessert, an apple pie from scratch. I’m getting better at these.
