take a hike

Visited the cabin this weekend with my family for Thanksgiving.  Apart from my husband (pictured right in the fire pics below) and myself coming down with colds-- it was a splendid time.  The womenfolk did the preparing and cooking of the meal while the men chopped wood for the wood stove and outdoors fire pit.  How very traditional of us.  Of course, after dinner the guys had to do the dishes while we snuggled up by the fire and napped.  Many laughs were had through the night as we all stayed up late playing Uno. The following morning was spent bird watching and cleaning up the cabin and getting it ready for winter.

I am very blessed to have a drama-free family that all gets along and enjoys spending time with each other.  It makes the Holidays not just tolerable, but actually enjoyable!  Hope you all enjoyed the long weekend.  Mine was extended by a sick day today!
