Christmas time is fun time with families. Last Thursday, we spent a wonderful day in Copperhill with our younger daughter and her husband. Our older daughter also accompanied us. The above picture is a table-top decoration that makes you smile when you see it. The jingle bell wreath below is very pretty and brings a grin to your face, too - - because it has jingle sounds and also happy faces on the bells. I don't remember where Amanda got it but I have always enjoyed it being part of her decor. I wish I had taken more pictures because she had decorated in many places. Their Christmas village on the mantle looked especially good.
Here are Amanda and Joshua. They prepared a wonderful luncheon for us that included deep-fried turkey (my husband's favorite), Asian meatballs, and applesauce cake. I brought fruit salad made from my Grandmother's recipe. The dressing for it is cooked pudding made from fruit juices which is then mixed with Cool-Whip the next day. YUM!!!
And then there is me and my sweet husband.
Standing on the front porch, you can see a mountain far off in the distance. It is Big Frog with an elevation of over four thousand feet. I did not find any websites that agreed on the height but I liked the picture HERE so included it.
If you zoom in, you can see a bit of the definition due to the gorgeous sunlight.
And that's it for pre-Christmas activities.
And that these days should be remembered and kept throughout every generation, every family, every province, and every city . . . Esther 9:28

I got the wreath from Hallmark a few years ago. We did have a very good time. Glad we used the tripod for family pictures. ;)
This sounds like a wonderful pre-Christmas get-together. The decorations are definitely cute. I really like the view from their front porch.
So lovely seeing photos of you and your family.
Love her decorations too, so festive.
