Right on schedule, the weather gods blew through
and dumped a lovely covering of the white stuff!
This one might be next year's Christmas card. At that time, as a newly
retired teacher, I plan to have time to do such things.
Last year we had Christmas and a Wedding Shower; this year,
we had a Wedding Shower and then Christmas.
Lots of ladies, lots of good sweets, (thanks everyone).
Lots of gifts.
A very pleasant afternoon.
Adam, was very excited to find out about all the place settings of
Fiestaware he now has.
And then it was Christmas :-)
Only half the kids home this year! Three stockings instead of six.
And, for the first time since 1978,
NO boys (much less girls) on the steps.
But, in the afternoon, everyone arrived for dinner and gifts.
With the Shower and Christmas at the house, we decided
that we needed to go with small tree!
Ahhh, at the end of the day everyone was tired and content.
To everyone who was here, thank you for sharing
your holiday with us. We loved having you
and look forward to the next time we
gather.
To those of you who were with us in spirit, we hope you felt
our presence as we felt yours. We hope that your holiday
with your family and friends was filled with joy.
We love you and look forward to the next
time we gather.
May our New Year be blessed with love, peace and purpose.
