Thanksgiving and Christmas Tree Hunting

Thanksgiving weekend was awesome! Although I didn't take any photos of our bountiful feast, the 17 Kaczmarek family members put quite the dent in the plentiful bounty on the table. I took a poll of people's top 3 favorite Thanksgiving Day food items and amoung each answer there was one common demoninator: Stuffing. My mom makes a rockin' good stuffing! No nuts, no cranberries, no rasins. Just lots of sausage, spices, cornbread and butter of course. No wonder it is the best!

Two of my wonderful cousins, LeAnne and Lauren, flew into town to join in in the festivities from Colorado. It was so much fun to catch up with them. Check out Delya's poka dots. She is so very stylin' thanks to Omi.

We spent half the long weekend in Steilacoom and the other half at my folk's cabin at Cyrstal Mt. Saturday was spent up on the slopes. The first half of the dad was filled with clear, gorgeous skies. We failed to pull out the camera, before the clouds rolled in and limited our visability. Bummer. Dad, Nick and I had a great time though. Nice and easy pace...with many bathroom and snack breaks...just how skiing should be!

Sunday was Christmas tree shopping day. We bought a forest pass ($10 - a total score) and hit the hills. After about 45 minutes of dredging through waste deep snow, we finally found the tree to adorn our living room this December! We were so excited...I shared a kiss with Charlotte! (Too bad she can't take photos...otherwise, I could have shared a kiss with Nick!) Ahh, well.
Charlotte digs the snow! She was bouncing all over the place like a bunny. See her tail???
Tying the tree on the car is my least favorite job. That's why I take pictures and explore while Nick does the dirty work.

I would LOVE to post a photo of our tree decked out with orniments and lights in our home...but our camera has officially crapped out. When I try to turn it on, it just blurts 5 furrious beeps at me then turns off again. Guess it's time to hit consumer reports for some research!
