The most Wonderful time of the year (other than my birthday)

So it's getting that time of year.........Thanksgiving is over and here it comes!!! Thanksgiving weekend was great - got to spend time with my family, us "granddaughters" did a fabulous job (if I do say so myself) preparing Thanksgiving dinner for everyone, spoke to Brad on the phone - all the way in Iraq, saw Walk The Line, saw Harry Potter, did some shopping, watched A LOT of Christmas movies, finished up a knitting project, put up the Christmas tree....WOW, it didn't seem like much until I typed it out. Here are (of course) some pictures from Thanksgiving - you seriously didn't think I would leave out pictures......
