Jeff and I had a great time with his parents - such a great time that I completely forgot to take pictures while they were here. All I have is ONE picture from all the Thanksgiving fun. But everything turned out great - Jeff did a great job on the turkey. It was delicious. I loved having the pork roast with grandpa's special sauce. It didn't taste exactly like his, but it was pretty good. We had a lot of fun hanging out with the Rains family. We did a little shopping on Friday, and then on Saturday we went up to SLC to the Family History center. They have a ton of geneology work done, and wanted to get some more information on some relatives.As soon as we got home from taking Jeff's parents to the airport, I started putting up Christmas decorations. Whenever a girl in the Hollingsworth family gets married, a Christmas shower is thrown for her. So, I had TONS of Christmas decorations for our first Christmas together. I had so much fun decorating. I think Jeff even got into it a little. He thought it would be funny to put all the decorations in one spot on the tree. Yea . . . that didn't last long!
Thanks Grannie Frances for the beautiful wall hanging. My mom sent these trees to me a couple of years ago. I got some really pretty gold ones at my Christmas shower, but they
wouldn't fit in the box when my mom shipped my decorations to me. I think they are making an appearance with her decorations thi
s year. :) I can't wait to get them here.
Melissa and Jeff, Your tree is beautiful. Melissa sure wish you could have been with us Sunday. The "New Generation" had fun.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you guys had a fun Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteI think your Christmas decorations are great! I've never heard of a Christmas shower before, but that's a clever idea. We finally put up our decorations yesterday, but we don't have that much stuff (which is probably a good thing since we don't have that much room either.)
