Charlie Brown would be happy

Thanksgiving was absolutely wonderful. The best food ever, and wonderful company to boot! We spent the morning delivering food to some home bound clients of the local food bank. We go there every other week, but this was our chance to give them some fresh, non expired good food! We had a great time serving the people we have come to know and care for.


We spent the rest of the day at Jessie & Marks eating good food, playing some games, and scooping out our plan for Black Friday.


It's not even worth mentioning my Black Friday experience at Best Buy at 4:40 in the morning other than it did not work out as planned. We are back on the hunt for a washer/dryer set. Ben did scoop up all of the things we wanted at Office Depot including a new digital camera after ours broke in Seaside.

Saturday we headed out into the wilderness for our first forest tree cutting experience. It was beautiful scenery and we really enjoyed spending time with our friends. Our eye for good trees however is not the best. We thought we picked out a real winner, but when we got home and stood it up in our living room we started laughing hysterically. It definitely was not as full as we thought it was and struggled to put up 1/2 of our ornament collection. Oh well, it was a fun experience!

E for effort. It's a cute tree...even if it only has three branches. I will not invite your tree over to our house to protect its self-esteem.

The tree....oh man....must be your upbringing. I set a poor example during our one family outing to cut down a tree in Arizona. I do believe it was even skimpier than yours, and that's a statement! It was fun though and I'm sure you can say the same for your adventure. Happy Holidaaaaaaaays
