Thanksgiving

Last week we made our annual pilgrimage back to Wisconsin for lots of food, cheese, and beer. In the element we fit:

9 balsam wreaths,

8 festive bows,

7 kinds of cheese,

6 pounds of sausage,

5 cases of beer,

4 bundles of bows,

3 bottles of wine,

2 crappy colds, and

1 8 ft. Christmas tree

After Thanksgiving dinner I was so full I needed help digesting food. Our nieces and nephew helped by bouncing on my stomach. They are so fun to play with, but were typhoid Marys with colds. I think we managed to pass it on to everyone in my family the next day.

The medium sized dog costumes still fit Portland well. I am a little weary as to what presents he is going to leave us.
We picked out a nice 8 ft. balsam tree. Nera and Sam decorated it last night,

and undecorated it,

and rearranged the ornaments.
