Featuring: the first snow, on Thanksgiving day
Daddy-snuggles, intermittent snacking and small feasts around the table
a healthy dose of board and card games
and a trio of pies (pumpkin, buttermilk cream, pear crumb).
Dad Owens risked life and limb clambering up to the roof to diagnose our chimney troubles. At one point, he says, he stepped from a folding chair to perch at the top of our fence and thought to himself: this might not end well. He also tidied our eaves troughs while he was up there. Seriously swell guy.
We also did a fair amount of missing Kindra&co (hubby's youngest sister&fam, who spent the holiday at her in-laws'). Mom Owens snapped a shot of the homemade butterhorn rolls and sent it to Kindra's phone, which we deemed cruel and unusual and pretty funny.
I even dutifully walked several miles on the treadmill, successfully burning the caloric equivalent of one cranberry. Ah, well.
And now for my favorite time of year. Bring on the Christmas!

2- I was NOT amused at the picture of the rolls!
3- We must play 4-square at Christmas because I'm very upset I missed out on that action as well

BY THE WAY DID YOU KNOW THE RUDINOFFS ON KAUA'I? THEIR DAUGHTER SARAH WENT TO HIGH SCHOOL WITH ME....
Sounds absoloodelly lovely!
As for the pattern, yes, it is one of my own designs. It's basically a raglan sleeved peasant top, with extended neckline and sleeve edges, all the better to elasticise with.
Does that make any sense?
These are great pictures, all of them.
Sounds like a really great time!! My kids were so excited that it snowed while we were in Idaho. Not enough to really enjoy, but they still thought it was the most wonderful thing in the world :)
Yeah for Thanksgiving fun, late night talks with a big sis-sigh, and fabulous food!
What a lovely holiday. Will you share the pear crumb pie recipe? Sounds fab.
