Thanksgiving & Christmas Trees

We’ve made it a fun tradition to go camping each year for Thanksgiving in our local mountains – this year we spent a few days at Paso Picacho campground in Cuyamaca State Park. I was so thankful for the cooler, mountain air as I heard it was in the nineties in San Diego! Not right for Thanksgiving! We tent camped with Colt and had a few rough nights of sleep, but other than that we had such a good time relaxing around the campfire, cooking all day and just being together. My talented chef of a husband pulled off another award-winning 15lb turkey by cooking it over the fire in a huge cast iron dutch oven for several hours – it was perfect! We came home and went Christmas tree shopping later that week and have the cutest little noble fir sitting in our living room all lit up, fresh from the small business down the street. I can’t believe Christmas is next week!
