Turkey for Me, Turkey for You


Good evening.

We enjoyed our Thanksgiving dinner at Matt's brother Jeff's house with their family. Pumpkin-s'more-less, but still fun. Hope you all had fun too! I'm excited to see all y'all in a few weeks.

Let's see some pics from the rest of y'all's's's's holiday festivities!

I don't have any pics of our festivities! However, I have a feeling that Babsy does.

It's late and I have resolved to not go to bed so late so often - but I have noted that I want to download my pix from TG and will post them tomorrow!!

is that a christmas tree in the background?!?!

I love it!

I wasn't as non-emotional as I look in the picture.

yeah, if you look closely enough there are TWO christmas trees in the background. I think there are also two more little ones in the boys and girls room. My sister-in-law Deb is a decoration fanatic. She puts Halloween decorations when school starts, puts up christmas decorations november 1st. As soon as new years is over she plasters the house with huge portraits of our U.S. presidents. Well, she doesn't do the presidents, but the rest is true.

okay - i see the 2 trees - at first i thought it was just a mirror reflection - silly me. she's sounds pretty intense old deb. i love christmas, but nov 1st is a little early for me. however i do think the plastering of the presidents is a fabulous idea and might have to tuck that into my little idea book.

Phoebe said...

Why doesn't she do turkeys everywhere? She could even do live turkeys that walked about and pecked at your toes. Now that would be festive!
I love the decor, only it is sad that Thanksgiving always gets the shaft.

i think one of the reasons i like thnksgiving so much is because it's so low key decorating-wise low pressure.

but i like every holiday as it rolls around

Actually, Hannula, I would say you look lovely, not non-emotional. Only the little kids look "emotional" anyway. As for me, I am (how do you do italics in this comment rectangle, anyway?) emotional(emphasis am), which is to say it takes little, very little, to set me off. Happy holiday, all.

This is Eliza, lazily posting as Matt.

Dad: to italicize, use the HTML tags shown up above the "Leave your comment" box. For italics, you use the "i" one. Put that to the left of the word you want to italicize. Then put another one to the right of that word, inserting a / in between the < and the i.

:)

Deb does like decorating. I believe each child has his or her own Christmas tree, plus the living room and kitchen ones, and there might be one in the basement too.

you have to admire her thoroughness, and my effective use of the italics

HPT said...

Okay. For italics you do it like this? Do I assume that the others are for bold and for whatever? Ahh, the a means underline! How clever!

HPT said...

Question: Is there a source for html tags & how they are used? Like a site or something?

Eliza said...

There are lots of resources on the Web for learning about Web design. You can Google "HTML tutorial" or something like that, but here's a start:

W3 Intro to HTML

Since this is from the World Wide Web Consortium (the people who make lots of decisions re: the Web), I guess that makes it sort of "official." Sort of.

HTML tags can seem cumbersome at first but once you memorize them it's sort of natural. (Well, still cumbersome, but natural.)

HPT said...

Thanks Eliza! That is very readable and should help. Not that you should expect big stuff coming from me, but at least the mystery of the whole html business now looks less impossible.
