True Colorado Thanksgiving

MacGyver was on shift this year. He had wings with the guys at the station and the kiddos and I went to our friends' house to celebrate with their family. So, today we celebrated Thanksgiving as a family. This morning we cut and stocked up on some firewood, and this afternoon we cut a Christmas tree on the property and just finished our ham dinner...glazed not smoked this year. We've got a fire in the wood stove, Christmas music playing on Pandora (cool internet site that streams music of every type), he is stringing lights on the tree, the kiddos are washing dishes and the pups and I are taking a moment to finally sit for a moment before the decorating begins! It was a wonderful, warm family day...the best kind of Thanksgiving. We even made a list of "what are we thankful for" from A to Z.
