Our Thanksgiving was perfect. (Well, except when the glass fell out of the cabinet and broke in the bowl where I was mixing the stuffing, but we won't talk about that. Or the fact that I had to use Stove Top stuffing. Or even that I owned a box of it. Ahem.) The meal was lovely, and it was just our sweet little family of 4. So wonderful.
The tree farm has so many fun things to do. These old fashioned water pumps with little rubber ducks are always a favorite.
We had an amazing time searching for the perfect tree.
BJ found a tree he deemed PERFECT! All 10 and a half feet of it. And yes, that's the one we bought!
We did some maybe-this-will-be-THE-Christmas-card-photo shots. They didn't really work out, but the outtakes are priceless!
It was a perfect day.
Saturday we decorated our beautiful tree. It looked amazing.
This morning, as I was snuggled up in my bed relishing the thought of sleeping in, Brian came in the room and mumbled something. Or maybe it just sounded like he was mumbling because I had the pillow on my head? What I finally heard, after he yanked the pillow off my head and shouted, was that our perfectly decorated 10 and a half foot tree had fallen over. As in on the floor. More precisely on the ottoman. And it just happened to land smack dab on top of my Mac.
There were lots of broken ornaments.
Oy.
As you can see, my Mac is still working, but OMG if it wasn't, I think I would have joined a convent and taken a vow of silence.
Okay, that's a lie. I would have cussed. A whole lot.

I think you need to buy a bubble for your Mac. Just sayin'.
Sounds like the perfect weekend!!! And your poor MAC!! I'm so glad it's still working!
OH NO!!! I hope you didn't lose favorite ornaments. That's always my fear. And SO glad your laptop is okay. Whew!
That pic of BJ by the tree and the one of him and Mia are just too cute!!!
Glad you had a fun weekend! Sometimes the small family-only celebrations are the best ones.
So glad that the Mac is fine. I've been there. It sucks, and it's painful, and I'm so glad you didn't have cuss a lot.
(Btw, BJ has the sweetest expressions in these pictures. I want to squeeze him!)
Holy cow! That's a lot of wood!
LOL Midwest Mommy, you said, "Wood." (insert beavis and butthead laugh here)
Holy 10 footer! I love that picture of him in front of it though, too cute.
I was pretty sure ours was going to fall over the first night because the crazy lunatic cat has been eyeing it since we got it, but it's still standing which is good. sorry to hear about the ornament casualties!
ps. Your poor MACs. (plural.)
