It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas!

Everywhere you go! We drove home from church this morning in a blinding snow, but it wasn't cold enough to stick. It was pretty though! We had a wonderful Thanksgiving Day at Gariann's home. The food was plentiful, and delicious! I think everyone got plenty, and had a great time as well. The guys had a lot of fun shooting pool, and a bunch of us played Tripoley.









After two meals, and playing games, it was time to go home. Zach came home with us, but Wyatt chose to go home with Mommy and Daddy. Kathy was planning to go early in the morning for those door buster shopping specials, so Tyler brought Wyatt over Friday morning when he woke up.
The boys helped re-arrange furniture, dig the decorations out of the attic and carry them down, set up and decorate the tree and then put all the storage boxes back in the attic. After that, we played the old "original" Monopoly until I went broke, and Zach had accumulated nearly ten thousand dollars. It was a fun day, and the house is decorated for Christmas. Our tree is absolutely beautiful...if I do say so myself.
And of course, Bambi is wearing his Christmas "outfit", as is Daddy Deer. The boys enjoy making them festive for the holidays.













However, as we enter into the "holiday season" let us not forget the most important things:

Sounds like you had a great Thanksgiving!! And yes, your tree is very pretty! I have not even attempted to get mine out. I always used to shoot for December 1and I'm not sure what this year is going to bring w/ the little heathen in the house (Gracie) IT will be total chaos and destruction I'm sure!!!!!

We drove home after church in snow also today. HUGE flakes and a lot of them!!! But nothing stuck. In fact, it stopped about 30 minutes after we got home!!

Happy Holiday's Susie! It's wonderful to spend time with family and friends during this time of year.

We stopped in Hannibal to have Thanksgiving with our families before we took off to Winter in the Gulf of Mexico. It's been cold in our New Retirement Home, but we love it!
