A Howell Family Thanksgiving in Boone

The Howell Family (us), the original Howells (Ace's parents), Mom Ruthie, & the Baker Family all went up to the Mountain house in Boone, NC for Thanksgiving this year. We are actually making a tradition out of it, this is our 3rd year going for Thanksgiving. The guys even got to ski this year, a Thanksgiving miracle to ski in Boone this early in the winter (actually late fall...)! We definately filled up our time, below are pics of going to Blowing Rock for their annual Christmas festival, the day after Thanksgiving, cutting down our very own tree on the RRR Howell Tree farm, and even enjoying a nice bonfire in the front yard, ahhh the joy of the mountains!
