#150 Crafting Happiness Challenges

Hi! I hope all of you had a fun Thanksgiving.
Hubby smoked a turkey for us for the first time.
It was delicious!
I made some homemade gravy, dressing, and brown rice 
to go along with that.

It was a quiet day here. 
Three of our children and their families went 
to their other half's side of the family, 
so it was just Tom & I with our daughter, Bonnie.

At the end of the day, we watched, THE POLAR EXPRESS.
Bonnie laid her head on Tom's lap and her feet on mine.
Of course we were also covered in comfy blankets.


Is your Christmas Tree up yet?
We are getting ours up this weekend!!
