We celebrated Thanksgiving with my mom & Scott and Rachel in Monte on Thanksgiving day. My mom had the table all set up with her fine China. You would have thought that the Queen of England was coming for a visit.
The turkey was cooking in the roaster in the basement so she went down to check on it...Emmy followed right behind her. They came back upstairs to the kitchen and Emmy said, "Mama, there's a tookie down nere." She's such a cutie. We spent the whole afternoon and evening with my mom and had a really nice time. We shared lots of laughs reminiscing about the old times.
That next day we spent a few hours with my dad before heading out to St. James for Brad's family Thanksgiving/Christmas. The men spent many hours playing cribbage. :) The cribbage board, which is usually a fine handmade board by Jerry, is always out at the table in this family. Jerry has tried to teach me how to play, but I just don't get it. All is here is, 15-2, 15-4, 15-6 and two for 8 or something like it.
We celebrated with the whole family on Saturday by eating our annual prime rib dinner. It was so yummy!
After dinner, we opened presents and then played bingo. Emmy won and she chose to pick out a package of cookies that were on the prize table. Goofy kid...there's a bunch of toys on the table and she chooses cookies.
Brad's grandparents made special pillow cases for all of the great grandkids. Emmy sleeps with hers every night.
I wasn't very good about taking pictures this weekend. I need to get better at it again. I only got this one photo of Emmy eating her olives. She LOOOOVES olives.
