Thanksgiving Holiday

After a rather quiet Thanksgiving day (just us at home this year). We took, what has become a tradition of sorts. We loaded up the kids and headed to Jonas Ridge. Where we took our annual hay ride to the Christmas tree fields at Sam's Nursery. It was a perfect day to be out with our kids. Mild enough for the babies, but cold enough to feel like Christmas was around the corner. Jonas Ridge is a beautiful part of Western NC and considered the Christmas Tree growing capital of the south.
Look how awesome, you can almost smell the trees through this next picture.
And of course here are our blessings to be thankful for !
And this fine fir will grace our home for the next month. After that it will end up mulch, gracing a fine home.

Unlike the past year it was cold enough that the snow tubing park was open with plenty of snow for a good ride so we indulged for the kids a little, and bought some passes for a good hour of wet snowy fun. We hope everyone has had a great Thanksgiving weekend.
Here is a little video of Ian and Jade going down on their tubes.
