Thanksgiving 2009

Thanksgiving this year was spent with Derek's family at his brother's in San Diego. It was a good time with lots of good food!

I only got a few pics, but here they are:

Pre-Thanksgiving Get-Away

Derek & I decided to take a quick jaunt to Big Bear over the weekend. We loaded up the pups and headed out Friday night. Saturday was wonderful and relaxing -- beautiful weather - and it is definitely getting colder!

We went walking around the Village - here they're decorating the town tree for the holiday tree-lighting ceremony next weekend!

Stopped and had some brunch at Teddy Bear Restaurant

We love visiting the cabin! The dogs loved squirrel chasing!
