I knew I couldn't hold out util Saturday!!

The family after a wild game of CLUE!!
Nancy took a nap too!!

I got chilly and full so I took a little nap!!

















Kelly made an Apple Spice Cake!






We looked out the window and it was snowing just a little!
I knew I couldn't hold out until Saturday to do a post!! I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving! We sure did! We have so much to be Thankful for, our freedom,for the men and women willing to fight for it!! Home and Family!! For God's Great Love!!
We plan on trimming our tree tomorrow afternoon so I am skipping Photo Hunt this week! When Sarah and Jacob were little they always spent Thanksgiving night Friday and Saturday nights with me! We would trim our tree while they were here and this continued until Sarah went to college . After that ,some years it worked out and it was always great when they could be here!
I miss my family that lives in Mexico too!! I love it that Jey and his wife Sofia live about 8 miles from me!! As of now we plan to spend Christmas Eve with Jey, Sofia, the kids, and her family who will be here from Mexico!!

Grams,

Love the photos. The boys and I LOVE playing Clue. It is one of our favorites. Brandon had a Clue Junior when he was little and by the time he was five, we were playing adult Clue. We also play monopoly (it takes too long) Isolation, Blockus, Sorry and a host of others. They have an entire shelf that's filled with board games.

Thanks for posting. I would have missed you had you waited until Saturday. Thanks also for commenting on my writing. You are a great inspiration and encouragement to me.

Blessings,
Mary

Good Afternoon Grams,
LOL,LOL,LOL!!!! I just knew it. You are probably like me, very addicted to this. LOL. Well, I am glad you posted though. I have missed your posts. I did see where you snuck in and got the banner from me. But oh well, at least we are in our homes having a good time enjoying the company of good Christian Women online. I love all the pictures you posted. I really like that one of the snow falling. I just love snow. But no ice though. It was cloudy, cold, and a bit windy here for Thanksgiving. The sun did pop out yesterday afternoon around 4:30p.m. We had a great time at our house also. My parents and sister came up and we all ate too much as usual. Later that afternoon, hubby and the girls put our Christmas Tree up and got it all decorated. That's what hubby and the girls usually do on Thanksgiving night or the day after. I unpack the lights and ornaments and have it ready for them to put on the tree. And of course, I tell them where they need to put some decorations. LOL. Well Grams, I'm glad you are back. Stay in and stay warm. It sure is cold here. It is 40 degrees with a windchill of 33 degrees. We are suppose to have rain set in for Sunday and Monday. Well, take care my friend and thanks for sharing the pictures. The spice cake look delicious also. May God Bless You and Yours.

Love & Hugs,
Karen H.

I just had a feeling you were like me and had to get to the blog. I'm glad to hear you had nice time with family. Our tradition has been to trim the tree the day after Thanksgiving too. However this year it is waiting till Saturday when the kids will be free to join us.
