Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving to all!

We, as many of you know, start our holiday season at 6:00 am November 1st every year and this year we started at about 5:47 am because we just cant seem to get enough!  Last night I prepared the home made stuffing that has been passed down to me that started with my grandparents....it is "goooOOD!" as "Uncle Eddy" from Griswolds Christmas Vacation would say.  Deidra prepared the sweet potato souffle and both will be going in the oven soon!  The turkey is all buttered and seasoned up and is in the roaster as we speak!  Wine and sparkling grape juice is chilling in the fridge and the rolls are rising on the counter!  Santa is on the sleigh in the parade in the background which means that the parade is coming to an end and the season has officially started and we are revving up our holiday motors to begin the Christmas season and let the joy of the season shine!  This weekend we are off to Estes Park to do a bit of shopping and sight seeing.  Next week we shall get ready for our annual Old Fashioned Silver Dollar City Christmas that we look forward to every year! 

Happy Thanksgiving from your Rocky Mountain Family!



Let the holiday season begin!

 

First real snow today! We have had several "frosty" mornings...but nothing like this until today. Deidra is making up a pot of chili and the kids stepped outside to get their first experience of a Colorado snow. We got the Christmas stuff out and are decorating today. For those of you who forgot what snow was....its that white stuff falling on the kids in these pics. Going to get the fireplace going and enjoy some cozy time with my little family with some delicious bowls of chili. Hope everyone is doing well.
