Tis the season! I wish I were one of those early shoppers who had all my gifts purchased, wrapped, and under the tree by the day after Thanksgiving, but I’m not. As a matter of fact, I don’t even have a list made yet, so if you’re out there and still want to get your request in to me, it’s not too late.
I like to think that I’m a more in-the-moment kinda person. We had a great Thanksgiving with three of our four sons, two daughters-in-law, five of the grandkids, and Max’s mom and sister, Connie. Lovely day. Instead of the kitchen marathon, we ordered a dinner from the local grocery, heated it up, added a few favorite side dishes, and enjoyed time with one another. What a blessing.
So, before the Thanksgiving weekend slips away, here are a few pics from our day.

I got the Christmas tree decorated and the Nativity scenes in place today, so tomorrow it’s back to work. I’m very excited about a new writing project. Also, would love to hear what project you’re working on. Just don’t tell me that you have your Christmas shopping done. La-la-la-la! I don’t want to hear it.
