Baltimore Knockout

Big Ben injured his right arm today in the fourth quarter but kept playing.

Steelers finished the season 9-7 but were knocked out of the playoffs by those purple birds.

Christmas Gifts

Thanks to the Baltimore Ravens for the win today. The Steelers couldn't have won without their penalties today negating their own touchdowns and giving the Steelers automatic first downs. Big Ben went over the 4,000 passing yard mark today, the most in a season by any Steeler quarterback.

New Things

We have two heavenly bamboo (Nandina) bushes in our new backyard.
This was a housewarming gift, Paul Deen mint chocolate candle.
The boys found a comfortable place to nap during unpacking.
All the windows and doors are a dog's delight. They can see what's going on outside with ease.

Thanksgiving Food

Since we ate at someone else's house yesterday, we cooked our Thanksgiving food today. Here is the turkey.
The boys were waiting patiently.
Sausage and apple stuffing...
Rice dressing...
Sweet potatoes...
And for dessert, apple pie and ice cream.

Thankful Day

Tried to get a picture of a Great Blue Heron. He decided to fly around instead of posing.



We ate Thanksgiving at my aunt's today.
