Thanksgiving 2021

 Jeanne and I were at Treeo for Thanksgiving and they had a delicious spread but of course, I did not take any pictures.  We could take as many left overs as we wanted also! and I had a second meal at midnight.

Friday we drove over to Dave and Tami's house for dinner with Dave and Tami and Tami's daughter Emily and her husband Ammon.  Emily and Ammon are currently living in St George where Ammon  is becoming an ONP and Emily is having a baby in early July.  They are such a nice couple and so fun to listen to their stories.

Tami had made delicious scalloped potatoes and Dave the carrots that were baked in the oven in a casserole dish with lots of butter.  I did not eat the roll but delicious ham.  For dessert we had a wonderful berry pie baked by Tami.

Again,I forgot to take pictures but their beautiful renovated home that Dave did had all been decorated for Christmas and I should have snapped a picture of the tree all in white and silver and the lights outside were gorgeous.

We had problems reading the street number to know we were at the right house but Emily smiled and said she had met me at Jeanne's birthday party in the canyon and said we were at the right place!!!

I had not cared about decorating for Christmas but I must have been inspired because I got up around 3 in the morning and decorated all I am going to do for Christmas.  It is very cozy and I also got out all my Christmas Cds and I am listening to Christmas all day long.

Several years ago, I made some Christmas mix cds and I am so glad I did.  I would not know how today but it is really a good mix...two of them actually.

Marilyn and I made the Storybook of Christmas stories and songs for all of our grandchildren when I was at her house in 2015 after Arkie died.

Linda had made the mats for me years ago, on the other side is Fall.

The Nativity family I added to my Christmas last year in Rancho Bernardo.  The book beside the family is my life in photo and story.  On the table also is the cd player Linda gifted me last year and so fun to play Christmas songs all day long.

I was going to decorate this little fake tree but just put all the lights on it.  So nice to have Christmas lighting at night!

I took this picture because I want everyone to realize I need updated Christmas pictures!!!!

Also on the floor is my Christmas books with all cards I sent and pictures for Christmas since 1960, the first Christmas with baby Johnny.  Jennifer gave me the Christmas book cover.  I am so glad I have these books to look at!!!  Maryanne gave me the Love Never Melts that she made herself.  I wanted people to see that I need updated Christmas pix of them!!!
