the thanksgiving holiday was so much fun and just what i needed. we did so many fun things, but first i must introduce the newest member of our family...drum roll please...it's Hobbes!
jeff surprised me (though i had my suspicions) with this pup on our anniversary. i was so excited i let out a little squeal. he's my baby for now and SO cute!
he's a goldendoodle. that's right, part golden retriever part standard poodle, which means no allergies for jeff and no shedding hair in my house!
we then kicked off the holiday break with a jazz game with my co-workers and seeing new moon with the fam. no offense ladies, but i don't see what the big hubbub is about those vampire movies. nevertheless, if i had to choose, i'd definitely take jacob.
we spent turkey day gorging ourselves with the tucker fam. the food was amazing and the company even better. we saw the movie blind side that night...one of those feel good flicks. i'd recommend it.
and then came my favorite part about thanksgiving...the annual day after thanksgiving christmas tree hunt! every year my family bundles up and packs turkey sandwiches, hot chocolate, and pie and heads south in search of that perfect tree.
morg and collie with the pup
morg, meg and anden. he was bundled so tight i don't think he felt a bit of cold and enjoyed his first tree hunt
us with jeff's marvelous find. he always braves the unknown, hikes massive mountains, and works up a sweat dragging our tree back. but i must say, this year he out did himself...the tree is perfect!
lucky meg and kyle have massive ceilings in their house so they cut a 20 foot tree (i couldn't even fit the whole thing in the picture). i can't wait to see it in their house
my favorite boys (minus my dad)
and the finished product! the picture doesn't really do it justice, you need to see it in person (really you do, it's gorgeous). all in all it was a great day and we spent the night putting up lights on our house and decorating for christmas.
of course the next day wasn't bad either...that rivalry game is always exciting and it was a great day to be a cougar.
happy holidays everyone!
