A Day in my Life

So here we are in December!
December 1 was a busy day for me.  We always have Bob's family Christmas party on the first Saturday of  December and with it falling on the first, it seemed very early.
This year was our turn to be in charge, so we had to be at the place we were renting by 2.  That meant lots had to be done in the morning.

 I started off by making a batch of cookies,

 and some fudge.  This fudge was Bob's Grandma's recipe, so it's a tradition and needs to be at the party!

 I got a load of laundry done.

and made a huge batch of pulled pork.

I packed up some gift bags for the little kids that would be there.

 We arrived at the lodge a little before 2.  It was a dreary day, cold and drizzly, so no one spent any time out here looking over the river!

This building is a beautiful log home with views of the Grand River out 2 sides.

Bob's brother and wife arrived shortly after we did and it didn't take long to get everything set up.
At 3 the rest of the family arrived.

 Here's the whole group eating supper.

 Heather and Andrew

Laura, Aaron and girls.

and the whole gang!

We got home about 8 at night, I stuck the crock pot in the sink to soak and relaxed.
I know I always say this, but it was another good day.  I guess it's a reminder of how blessed we are.
