Turkey and a Tree

Thanksgiving was of course a busy one! Thanksgiving day was spent in Austin with Eric's family. I of course brought my camera to take pics of everyone and the food (so I could post the recipes on kitchen concoctions) but forgot to take any pics.

Then the day after Thanksgiving Eric and I headed to Houston to spend thanksgiving giving with my family. I again forgot to take pics.

After we ate dinner we headed to go get our Christmas tree. A tradition with my family is to go to a Christmas tree farm and cut our tree down. My mom said that this would be the last year she would get a real tree. This was a first for Eric and Anthony. Anthony always had a fake tree growing up and although Eric always had real Christmas trees growing up they never went and cut them down themselves. It was a lot of fun and of course my mom and I especially were being super cheesy and sentimental.

Trying to find the perfect one:

We finally ound it! (Look at my sister's preggo belly!)

Matthew has always wanted to cut the tree down ever since he was real little. It aways took forever and my Mom always had to get down there and help him. This year he literally had it chopped down in 5 seconds flat!

My family is used to my obsessive picture taking (they better be by now!).

You would think Matthew is an 1 year old boy in ths pic from all the silly faces!
