Thankgiving in Colorado - with video!

This Thanksgiving was Nathan's first and we stayed in Colorado. The Tuesday before we fried a turkey for friends and the Wednesday before we fried one for us and one for friends. I got my mom's recipes and made the traditional Southern meal for Jason and I. Once we were thoroughly stuffed and rested we painted our stairwell wall! Bet you didn't see that one coming! Nathan also ate sweet potatoes for the first time and finished a jar in two meals. :) He loved them. Friday we finished up our beautiful "Merlot" wall and put everything back up - and started on our Christmas decorations. By the end of the weekend we put up 4 trees and decorated our front porch, our kitchen counters, our window between our den and kitchen and our mantle - pretty much every surface we could! Nathan got an early Christmas present from Jason - a Lionel train that is now under the tree. Each year he will get a new train car and extension tracks. He loves just watching it go around and around. We enjoyed having the 4 full days together just to enjoy being with one another.
