Thanksgiving

We had a wonderful time celebrating Thanksgiving in Wimberley with Kolby's family.  There was plenty of eating, relaxing, reading, college football, and more eating.

We even managed to take a few family pictures while everyone was together: 

We tried to get a picture for our Christmas card, but we failed for two reasons.  1) Maya got into some wild mushrooms, went on a bad trip and then threw up twice, resulting in her being less than eager to cooperate.  2) After we took several pictures, figuring we had surely gotten at least one good one, we called it quits--- only to look at the pictures later and see that Kolby looked rather.... crippled.  Somehow his skinny legs combined with a weird camera angle, ghostly pale ankles and Toms shoes to make him look a bit like Tiny Tim.  I laughed so hard it almost made it worth it :)

When she wasn't off hunting for shrooms, Maya would find a peaceful spot to keep watch and refused to come to us when we called for her since she knew she was well within our eyesight.  Too bad she wasn't aware of how hard she is to find out there:

On our way home today, we took the back roads to avoid traffic and stopped off in a small town along the way for a quick lunch.  When we came back out to our car, guess who had parked next to us?

There was a plastic bag filled with who-knows-what stuffed inside the deer, and its eyes were open and its tongue hanging out.  Keeping it classy.

Now we're home, watching The Muppet Christmas Carol and counting the days until we can go get our tree and put our lights up!
