It's still on my to-do list to put Thanksgiving pictures (from my camera) up on the blog. Instead, I've been busy doing things like this:
Yep, that's half a batch of
freezer crockpot meals. Basically, the premise is that you spent a crap-ton of money on groceries, spend even longer chopping all the ingredients and portioning them into ten bags, and then you don't need to cook again for the next year. (That was all hyperbole, I hope you know. All that work for "only" ten dinners! At least the dinners seem pretty big, so hopefully we'll have leftovers.) Unfortunately I accidentally mis-counted on the chicken front (22 pounds?!?) so tonight we're having Balsamic Chicken with Fig and Herbs with 1.5 times the chicken and twice as much of everything else. In other words, our ten dinners turned out to be only nine - argh. At least there are eight other nights in the future that I don't have to worry about cooking!
In other news, we also had a fun weekend wrapping presents...

...eating jucy lucys...

| The Nook is my new favorite!!!! |

...and going on a family walk!

| Her first time walking on an icy lake! |
As I said to Mike this weekend, we have a good life. :)
