A Christmas to Remember

December 22 at Windsor for caroling in the rec room.

When my family arrived we met up with family friends to carol at the Windsor before Christmas. We caroled in the rec room and people could come in that heard us and wanted to join in. Many people was napping in the afternoon so this way it was a win-win. We had a wonderful time together and we felt appreciated. This is a 37-year-old tradition and for two years in a row we've caroled in rest homes near by. The twins got this jumpy for Christmas! My oldest grandson added all the extra Scrabble tiles and kept asking us to pronounce the word. Christmas Eve was in Fremont as usual for a fabulous lasagna dinner and carols, and Christmas Day was at church, and brunch at my home. Merry's generosity of lasagna, salad, dressing, bread and homemade pumpkin pie provided Christmas dinner for my family's unexpected arrival Christmas Eve in Fremont. Then on Jack's birthday Paul drove us to Carmel. Unfortunately Rick had left the day after Christmas and missed all the fun. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/nposo2f0ydjdv32q70wfp/AAB43sGvnoZNE64Erj8HoB8ea?from_sync_modal=true&preview=Photo+Dec+28%2C+6+34+57+PM.jpg

 I'm told 23 of us were at the table Christmas Eve. Chad suggested we each give a minute of what we're up to. That was a great idea.
