Christmas Tree Up

With the help of my husband’s parents we picked out a beautiful tree this morning. We spent the rest of the day decorating the tree and everything else in the house it seems. We always say it’s the best one we’ve ever gotten. It’s beautiful!

Happy Thanksgiving!

My husband’s parents came to visit for Thanksgiving a few days ago. Today he and his mom spent hours in the kitchen making dinner for the four of us. We had roasted chicken instead of turkey. Everything was delicious! I even remembered to have the canned cranberry sauce! I was the only one who ate it though. hahaha

Celebrating Mom

The last few days I’ve been in Bethany Beach, Delaware. Almost all my family members gathered at a nice beach house to celebrate my mother. On Saturday we all walked down to the beach to spread my mother’s ashes. It was a very emotional gathering. She would be very pleased knowing that we all gathered together for the occasion.

While there my brother and drove down the road a bit and found the old beach house we rented for many years growing up. We were also able to have a few zoom calls with mom’s sisters and their families.

We did have a great time catching up, playing games and being silly. We celebrated some birthdays. We told stories from our childhood and shared great memories of mom. The weather was beautiful and the sunsets gorgeous. Here are a bunch of pictures from the last few days.

Brother Visit

My family will be gathering tomorrow at Bethany Beach, Delaware to celebrate my mother. My brother and his wife drove down to DC to break up their long trip to the beach. Tonight we were able to take them out to dinner. We had such a fun time catching up and enjoying dinner and wine. So good to see them!
