***A not-so-cold winter***

Here's just a little smattering of photos from lately. We drove the back roads to Wichita to spend Thanksgiving with Chris's family. We had two turkey dinners with both sides of his family, visited the Nifty Nuthouse (an insanely huge candy shop), went to the Donut Whole (a Wichita legend) and spent quality time with his family.  It was a really great weekend! When we got back we bought our Christmas tree and decorated the house, which is always one of my favorite days of the year. And at the beginning of this week I did a 3 day cleanse which included a sweat with Josh in my sweat lodge, lots of juicing, an acupuncture session, eating well and drinking copious amounts of water. It was great!

Love this picture of Chris's folks from back in the day.

Christmas tree shopping! We always go to the same place.

The sunset right before we got in the sweat lodge was stunning.

Carrot, celery, apple, ginger. 

Haven't shown you pics of these guys in a while.

Giving thanks for the country life in Wichita.

Chris and I went to his folks' house in Wichita, Kansas for Thanksgiving. It's fun to see Chris switch gears so quickly to his old country boy self. He immediately pulls on his overalls and sets out to cut a tree down or work on the truck. He spent all day on Friday in the garage, so I took out on my own to the city. I drove around, took some pictures and did a little shopping. Wichita is a pretty cool town with a lot of interesting old buildings, museums and antique shops. On Saturday we drove to Newton, which is only 30 minutes away. We always stop at Good Old Days Antiques where there is a cat that rides around on your shoulder while you shop. We also checked out our friend, Dave Loewenstein's mural that he completed this fall. It was a great Thanksgiving!
