Thanksgiving Holiday Weekend
My mother came for Thanksgiving. We had a wonderful time. It snowed a little on Wednesday night. It was melted and gone by Thursday morning.
I prepared dinner and dressed the table.
Steven carved the turkey.
Starting Friday we began putting up Christmas decorations. Can you find Steven?
Colby and Gracie watched. Alot.
I had thought I wanted a Nikon D70s for Christmas. I decided Thursday I wanted the decorations for our fence more.
I worked on the fence. All day Saturday.
Your home is beautiful! I love love love the fence! Glad that your Thanksgiving went well your table was lovely.
That is a lot of decorating to have to take down. haha.
I am still stuck in the middle of a half painted room with all the furniture in the middle of it. Sadly I won't be able to get my Christmas tree up until next week sometime. Sigh.
The garland is lovely, but then so is the D70s....I know because I have one and it makes me a very happy photographer.
Everything looks beautiful, Angie!
I don't know why NaNoWriMo has to be in November. I've thought about doing it for the past two years, but November is incredibly busy around here with birthdays and whatnot, so there's no way I could ever do it then. I wish it was NaFebWriMo instead. We don't have anything going on in February!
Angie, last year at our Governor's Mansion, I made 65 red velvet bows for their fences and light posts. I would be happy if I could have made your bows for your fence! Everything looks great; the turkey was beautiful too.
Sounds like a gorgeous holiday at your place. Glad you had a blessed day.
Oh, Angie. It's all so beautiful! Anytime you wanna trade that place for a rodent-infested overpriced house in the city, you just let me know. If I didn't like you so much, I'd be teeming with jealousy.
Your house is beautiful! I love the garland on the fence.
The garland (which makes your house look like a Norman Rockwell painting magically made real) was a fabulous addition to the decoration!!!
You could rent/buy/borrow/steal a one-horse open sleigh with a pony named Macaroni to sit in the front yard with the kids in it for the most AWESOME Xmas card picture ever. (On second thought, save that one for next year when there can be a smiling baby in it. Just imagining the cuteness of THAT photo is causing me to have contractions!)
ALL DAY with a garland?! You are a wonder, woman!
It seems like there were some sort of mechanical issues with the Nikon D70's that would piss me off if I had the smack to spend on a camera that expensive and awesome. Or maybe I dreamed it in an effort to deal with the fact that there will not be a decent camera in this house until after my grandchildren are born.
Happy Thanksgiving and the fence looks beautiful as well as the rest of the house I am sure!
Maybe Santa will still bring the Nikon D70, you never know.
Your table was lovely and your Christmas decos are looking great! I never spend as much time outside as I do inside for decorating and I am thinking that may be a mistake. You've inspired me! Nov/Dec are so full, aren't they? I am hosting a cookie exchange on the 18th and it is all I can think about right now.
Remember to rest :)
~K!
1. The fence is spectacular.
2. I found Steven. He's cutting up the house to put another window on Floor 2.
3. Lovely table setting.
4. Too bad about NaNoWriMo, but, my goodness lady, you got way too many irons in the fire (and bun in oven).
5. Thanks for your frequent posts. Always a highlight for Ol' Hoss.
Hey, I have a D70 and lemme tell ya - I think you made the right choice. I do love the camera, but it's not PERFECT. Your decorations, however, ARE. And your pictures are AWESOME, so pffft on a new camera.
Thanks so much for the pics and lovely glimpse into your life.
The table, the house and the fence are all spectacular Ang. You sure know how to dress it all up proper:) So glad your holiday weekend was cozy, busy & wonderful. We hung a lot of holiday trimmings around here too. Now I just need to put away all of the damn boxes! Arg...
you are really inspiring, and your house is so beautiful.
oh
my
goodness!
Angie, the house looks so, so, so beautiful!
It all looks perfectly lovely. Won't it be nice to have it all done soon and relax and enjoy it for a month? I love that feeling...
Is he the one imitating Chevy Chase by the 2nd floor window? I think so...Beautiful holiday decor, Angie. One of the best parts is the natural grasses left standing against the contrast of the red bows. I fear that you have won this years holiday decorating contest- although so far it's just your house and a dead lizard in top of a tree.
Very nice job, indeed. Keep your feet up!
Ok, if anyone wants lessons on gorgeous and TASTEFUL decorations I will send them to you. It is seriously inspiring, Miss Angie. And your Thanksgiving table was also extra-lovely. Please take it easy now, you are making me very nervous with all the fence-decorating and firewood chopping. I'm thinking of firing you from WYAOWMM.
You are what Christmas is all about! If Norman Rockwell could were alive today...couldn't hold a candle... not at all.
It looks just gorgeous and i *covet* that grass by the gates!!
OMG, what a beautiful house... really! It's perfect for Christmas... your fence is so...so... can I have a picture of it?? :)
Looks great, very Christmasy! Enjoy the holidays, it really the best time of the year!
Lovely, Angie.
Angie, all is WONDERFUL! BEAUTIFUL!
Your turkey looks delicious!
Your home is just amazing! Your fence is lovely!
Congratulations!
