We had a really nice day yesterday, even though with 16 people in this little house it bordered on chaos most of the time!
I was up at 5am stuffing the turkey, and at 7am put the ham in. I worked steadily all morning getting everything ready. The family was all here by noon, except for Peyton and his girlfriend Isabella. They went to her house first and then got here about 2:30pm. He walked in the door and asked for cinnamon rolls!
Cameron provided the entertainment. He had a great time getting into everything and we had fun chasing him around. We have a kids’ Tupperware tea set and he was playing with the spork – mostly he was combing his hair with it!
As is typical for me, I didn’t think about taking pictures when I needed to. So I didn’t get Christina and her roommate Grace. Bummer. Grace was very nice and fit right in with our crazy bunch. I meant to ask Christina to take pictures for me but forgot. And I never got Peyton and Isabella, either. Chase stayed mostly in the spare room playing video games, and Logan had a headache and took a nap. The guys hung downstairs and watched football the whole time. The rest of us were up and down the steps all day. Isabella was super fun and got along with everyone – I really enjoyed meeting both of the ‘new girls’ here yesterday.
I was so tired by the time I sat down, about 7pm, I could barely get back up. But it was a good tired, with great memories and wonderful people.
Today I took all the fall and Thanksgiving decorations down. I emptied all the bins, cleaned them out, and packed things up one at a time. It was a total mess in here but it’s all done and the bins are back on the shelves in the garage.
Tomorrow I’ll start on the Christmas decorations!
For lunch I had a small bowl of leftover mashed potatoes with turkey mixed in and it was very good. Haven’t decided on supper yet.
My blessing today was taking my time and being very organized!
PEANUTS Thought for the Day:
TOMORROW November 30th is:
National Computer Security day; National Mason Jar Day; National Mississippi Day; National Mousse Day; National Sticker Day; National Personal Space Day; Small Business Saturday; Stay Home Because You’re Well Day.
Wednesday’s fake day was National Clippers Day. TOMORROW: I like Mason jars. If you go shopping shop small businesses. Have a happy weekend! God bless…
