Bye bye turkey

How was your holiday weekend? I'm pretty much turkeyed out now. We finished the last of the leftovers yesterday and I froze the rest of the turkey. It will make delicious soup in a couple weeks.

I spent the rest of the weekend cleaning, putting regular things away and replacing them with Christmas things. Both trees are up now and decorated. I decided to go with a theme for the tree in the sun room. Motorcycles :-) Believe it or not, there are lots of motorcycle Santa ornaments out there. There are a lot of plain old motorcycle ornaments period. It's kind of cool! In a couple years I bet I'll have plenty. For now though, I filled in the blank spots with silver balls. It's nice to have a sun room to decorate. I put all the winter/Christmas stuffed animals out there too. I know if I put them inside, that rascally Pepper will claim them for her toys.
