It has become a tradition for our family to celebrate Christmas on Thanksgiving weekend because we leave for our winter home shortly thereafter, thus the name Thankmas. We give each day its own true celebration but squeeze as much as possible into the 3 or 4 days we are together.
This year our daughter-in-law and son cooked Thanksgiving dinner and we traveled to their house. Grandma, Kari and we were gathered with Crystal's parents, brother and aunt Barb. It was delicious traditional food in an nontraditional way. Thanks you two! Job well done!
Then it was back home for the traditional early shopping on Black Friday morning. Kari & I found some good bargains and were home by 9:00 to say goodbye to Grandma as she returned to her home.
On Saturday we celebrated Christmas with the kids. Looking how "they" are all under blankets, it is hard to believe there was a real fire going in the fireplace, but there was. The kids left this morning and we continue to pack for our trip south. Thanks kids for the wonderful weekend!
