A Seasonal Return

 

The Thanksgiving holiday has come and went, with just enough leftovers that we don't have to cook tonight.  Most importantly all the kids came back  Ella caught a ride to and from GB with some friends and hung out for a few days.  Sophia came back and brought a boy...a point that everyone choose to pick on Ella a little bit about her boy making other plans.  We bought a tree from our favorite lot on Friday after the Amy and the Girls did some Black Friday shopping.  Saturday they headed out for the day for a girls craft show tour.  I started to prep a big Thanksgiving day meal and get the house ready for the meal was salty, but the smoked turkey was really moist and likely found a winning way to do if from now on. After the belated T-day meal on Saturday, Amy got her wish to watch all the kids decorate the tree for the next holiday.  We laughed a bit as the kids choose different poses for a Christmas card and Sophia's boy kept decorating the tree long after the other four called it quits. I was able to revive the tradition of complement the "Star putter upper" and made the kids all say something that the appreciated about me before placing the star.  They still played along.  We had some pie after the tree was finished and then played some poker.
