Christmas Supper With Cerwin’s Family
Sunday Evening
I tried to have some festive table decorations since we did little decorating this year.
Jordan taking the first cup of mocha punch.
Velda (Cerwin’s sister) and her husband, Mel, brought Cerwin’s mother (back center). She is talking to our oldest son Jeff. Our son-in-law Roy is on the right. Mel is in a brace – to stabilize his neck due to a fracture that occurred from a fall several weeks ago.
Getting everyone together for prayer before the meal. There were thirty-seven of us.
Grandma always gets to go first when our family has a buffet dinner. We had sandwiches, baked beans, macaroni salad, ribbon salad, and a variety of other foods that go with an evening buffet.
Getting ready for playing Now-You-Have-It-Now-You-Don’t.
Everyone who wanted to participate brought a $10.00 gift card – most unwrapped.
Mother choosing two numbers from the basket.
I had some small open gifts for the four youngest. They each chose a gift they wanted – starting with the youngest (Peyton) who chose a bag of gummies.
She is trying to convince Ian to also take a bag of gummies.
Actually Ian wanted the Mentos. (I’m not sure where the chocolate bar came from.) Jared chose a six-pack of orange soda.
Jesse chose Pop Tarts. As you can see, he is already eating one.
Megan (our niece) with her friend, Eric. She came directly from her job as a chef.
Haley and Justin
They recently became engaged, and will be married next fall.
I love being with family and learning more about what is happening in each of their lives. It was an exhausting, but enjoyable day for me.
