thanksgiving weekend

We got the tree up. Jay loves this tree more THAN EVER.  Aaron carried this heavy thing upstairs. Julia and I set it up. I put the lights on.  James and Julia both worked on that top of the tree decoration.

There was zero drama, no concern about the height of the tree, no pine needles and sap, no tree stand to adjust. No fire concerns.  It's super efficient.  The set up doesn't even involve matching branches because the branches are all hinged and flop into place in sections. 

It's kind of genius, although I do miss the drama and unique-ness of a real tree, this is streamlined for sure.

This guy is back and also the little water skiing Santa.

Dan and Alicia invited us over for a bonfire and pizza. The kids were funny and sweet and the pizza was delicious and it was fun to spend an evening in their back yard in the dark.
We went inside to say good bye and caught a picture of two of them.
And that brings us to the end of Saturday  night, which feels like a dozen Friday nights in this long weekend.

Onward. 

Tomorrow is still November.  Love, Val
