On to Christmas!
I hope everyone had a blessed Thanksgiving. We were with Son-2 and family in Conway, Arkansas.
My favorite part of spending this holiday with them is seeing all the family mementos that have made the holidays special for years.

Delicious spread |
Not only was the food delicious, but the table was spread with DIL's grandmother's china
and Son-2's grandmother's crystal.
And Priscilla and John took their honored position by the turkey.

John and Priscilla |
A friend of my mother made these figurines in the 60s.
On Friday Son-2 always breaks out the Christmas decorations.

The felt tree skirt was made by my mother in 1970, Son-2's birth year.

Stockings hung by the fire |
Stockings knit by my MIL along with the Santa she painted.

Now it's time to decorate in The Glade!
