Safar Family Thanksgiving - and this year there is so much to be thankful for - including Nicole came home for the holiday and the new hot tub on the deck! While I didn't take any pictures of food, you know there was plenty. And, don't ask about the camel... Unless you know where Mary and Joseph were hiding.

Gobble Gobble.

 

This year, we are so grateful to celebrate 2 Thanksgivings. First up, Prose Family holiday at Lisa and Kent's new house (which is perfect for large groups of hungry folks). We took some pics and then headed toward Andover - hitting a few snow squalls along the way. We had a mid sized crew this year, and the highlight may have been the epic games of Uno Attack. We all came home happy, full and exhausted

 

In-between all the Thanksgivings and fishing adventures, we had to go get our real tree on a Wednesday! (gasp!) It was pretty slow on the tree farm, but the routine commenced. These kids love their traditions so much, every year even the conversations are the same.

Sooooo, short needle long needle?

SHORT - every year it's short.

Tall and skinny or short and fat?

TALL AND SKINNY - every year it's tall and skinny. We don't want to block the fire place.

It's my favorite tree.

 

 B: Somedays, when I'm doing math with a pen in my mouth, I feel like Math Rambo.

Mom: Ummm, ok. Why?

B: Doesn't Rambo hold a knife in his mouth? I just hold a pen, instead.

Mom: I don't know - that seems like a question for your father.
