Thanksgiving and the Weekend!!

Thanksgiving was a little different for us this year.

We normally are raising our Thanksgiving turkeys and then butchering them the weekend before Thanksgiving. This year we didn't raise any turkeys. We did however have some turkey legs in the freezer.

We smoked a whole chicken and 2 turkey legs for our feast this year.

Mine and Tim's Thanksgiving lunch.

Turkey legs is a recipe from the Pioneer Women.

Our smoked chicken.

We waited for Kaitlin to join us for dinner. She had to work but had the evening off.

Smoked chicken, broccoli, stuffing, deviled eggs and homemade rolls.

It was a relaxing couple of days.

The weather being cold nothing is better than watching movies and working on puzzles.

We are so close to finishing it!!

I just love this picture of Tim and Roxy.

We smoked some pork for the weekend.

One of our dinners. So delicious!!!

Out riding our four-wheelers.

It is so cold!!

As you can see Tim is wearing his winter coat as I am too.

Cattle and fencing and water source is all good.

We woke up to four inches of snow. Kaitlin didn't make it into work because of the roads were so icy.

Tim was making us breakfast while I was outside checking on our dogs.

First snow of the season.

So beautiful but so cold!

So Sunday afternoon we worked on decorating our tree and house with Christmas decorations.

This is our first year in this house to not have a real tree up. For the past several years we have been buying real Christmas trees. Every year the price goes up and the trees are significantly smaller. After the tree last year was barely 5 foot and cost 90ish dollars, I decided to buy a fake tree. I think it turned out pretty nice and it is huge.

A little Christmas decor here and there. It was so nice hanging out with the family and listening to Christmas music.

I even bought this cute little tree for our loft area aka living room right now.

We ended our evening watching the famous Christmas show that Kaitlin has never seen...

Die Hard!!!

So we will be watching all the sequels to it now that Pandora's box is open.
