Well the most wonderful time of the year has returned! Off to a good start so far with a great Thanksgiving that included lots of great food, family and fun as always. Then since we went artificial on the tree last year we got that up and decorated earlier than usual as well, and the rest of the house while we were at it. The girls had a lot of fun decorating and were really into it this year so we had a fun evening with that. Now come the holiday concerts, TV shows, shopping, Christmas parties and everything else we wait for all year. All we need is to make time to enjoy it because it always seems to be gone before you know it. Hopefully we get to visit with everyone before it's all said and done, and for now click here for a few pics from the start of the season.
And just in case you want a little snow with your holidays here's a bunch of pictures from a backpacking trip I went on with Ryan and Steven the weekend before last in the Carter range of the White Mountains. The week before I hiked Mt. Washington in shorts. The next weekend there was snow. There's a lot, but I'm too lazy to make a smaller album so flip through them or skip them altogether if you want by clicking here.
