Thanksgiving, Out; Christmas, In.

Michelle, Barley and I ventured back to Yakima for Thanksgiving. We were able to visit family and friends while home, and were reminded how thankful we are for all of them. We had to come home today, but the drive was very pretty. Jack Frost has been out and about for the last couple days, so every limb of every tree was laced white with ice crystals. The desert is beautiful in the winter too.

Tonight we bought a small grand fir tree and decorated it. We have very few ornaments, but it excites me to see the tree that way because I know how many we’ll find over the years together. We did pick up a dog ornament and painted it to look like Barley. Our hope is that he doesn’t destroy the tree. He’s got a certain fondness for wood.

Now we’re waiting for Scott & Sarah to come over for dinner. I was able to bring back some Grant’s Ales in 1/2 gallon bottles. Tonights menu includes Bert’s Perfect Porter & cask conditioned Scottish Ale. Bert’s Scottish Ale is like the shot heard round the world.

One thought on “Thanksgiving, Out; Christmas, In.”

  1. Even though we were married in May, a friend gave us ornaments as a gift. At the time I was thinking WTF, but now every year we unwrap them for the tree and it makes us happy for our own Christmas together and our wedding day.
