As 'tradition' would have it the NASCAR race is one and dh, dd and dsonil are watching -I'll probably peek in from time to time.
We're busily getting the house ready for Thanksgiving. Think dd is really happy to be hosting dinner this year -and probably in the future. We plan to have "Christmas Eve dinner" here as well. But in years past we've left from church after our Christmas Eve Service and gone to Dbil/dsisil's for dinner. That meant dinner was often nearly 8pm. We're going to suggest meeting like about 1pm on Christmas Eve Day this year. Then everyone can go home while it's still light. We can go to Christmas Eve service and be home by 7:30 at the latest. Sounds good to me! Know dsisil has said for the last couple of years that it's time for the 'younger' ones to do it. That would mean dd and now that the house is coming together, she's ready to do it. And we can incorporate both her family and dsonil's. His niece, her dh and 3 little girls and his dMom are coming. His dsis would be here but she'll be in the hospital for at least a couple more months. This will also change us sitting around while they did their tradition of family gifts on dsisil's side. They would do that via phone calls as her niece, dh and 5 children live in southeastern PA, her nephew, dw and 2 dks live near Atlanta, and 1 nephew lives here. There used to be her dsis who passed away last year and her other dsis who lives in front of them still is there. This way they can go home and do that whenever they're ready to do so. And it will make it less awkward for us.
DD finally has put away all of dsonil's clothes. We've moved that table to the opposite side of the dining room to hold all the dishes in preparation for Thursday.
Somehow along the way I missed what your ds & dh are traveling to, Kathryn. Enlighten me, please. Praying for safe travels for them too.
Begun is half done -SO! JUST BEGIN!!
