Happy (late) Thanksgiving!

Happy late Thanksgiving to everyone! Dellas and I have had a busy couple of weeks; working on the house & yard, chasing after puppy, working, etc. My parents also came into town this past Tuesday to spend Thanksgiving with us. We had a great time catching up and giving each other a hard time...especially mom and Del ;)
Thanksgiving day was spent out in Homedale, ID with much of the Vance family. Dellas was luckily able to join us to eat and hang out for a couple hrs and then had to get back to Boise to work. But, given that we thought he wouldn't make it at all, it was a great surprise! It was wonderful to pig out and listen to the "old men" exchange stories from back-in-the-day...many of which had me in tears laughing! It's always a great time listening to their old farm and cowboy stories :) I'm proud to have come from a good ol' country small town family! Haha...if you want to call it that.
Now that Thanksgiving has passed, I jumped right on getting decorated for the Christmas season; my favorite season of the year! Mom and I went shopping last night for a tree and found one at Target for $25 (one of their Black Friday doorbuster deals)! We got it home, set it up, and got it all lookin' pretty :) (Picture below) Now I just need to work on Del's holiday cheer...he can be kind of a grinch! I guess it's not "cool" to have fun with Christmas stuff.
Well, sorry for the lack in updates lately, I'll try to do better. :)
