Our plans changed when Molly ended up tearing her ACL in her back leg. (She just had the other back leg replaced a little over a year ago.). She was taken into surgery the Friday before and so we spent the holiday nursing her.
We still had a wonderful holiday. We quickly canceled all our reservations, made a couple of trips to the grocery and had a wonderful holiday.
Matt has been obsessed with The Big Green Egg for years. Well, he finally got one a couple of days before Thanksgiving and has declared himself "pit master." Let me just say if trying to smoke and grill everything in sight makes you a pit master then he is indeed master. Have mercy! I will say, he made an amazing turkey on Thanksgiving on his first attempt.
We also spent the holiday watching movies and decorating for Christmas. We installed a driving range in our basement and have been swinging away. Here's a tip: Until the side nets are in place, don't hit any golf balls, no matter if your husband pushes you to do it. I should know. I happen to be good at using spackle and repairing a hole in the wall. ha! ha! Yep, you could say, I sliced the ball.
We are blessed! We took care of Molly, changed plans and still made memories together. Thanks be to God!

| We gave Molly some turkey on Thanksgiving. Poor thing, instead of pinky up if was leg up as she ate. Another leg, another 20 staples. |

| It was very cold out and Matt was coming in out from grilling the turkey the turkey to get warm and he smelled like a smoke stack. We made him bring in a folding chair from the garage to sit in by the fire on his trips in to warm up. Molly on the other hand...... |

| We decorated for Christmas and Gracie and I finally got this garland decorated and hung like we like it. This after years of wrestling with it. |
