Thursday we were basically caught up and it was too darn cold to be outside we headed for Carson City. I had something to pick up at Kohl's and wanted to go to Ross for a few things so it was a good day to get it done. We finished and headed over to CVI and our favorite waitress, Carmen for a late lunch/dinner before heading home.

Friday was a wrapping day! Waiting on 2 more gifts this week and DONE for this year.
Saturday we were home until a little before 1700 when we headed into town for their 2nd Annual Parade of Lights. I didn't take my camera, but next year will for sure! Once it was done we headed back to the house and a fire in the backyard. Highs have been running in the high 30's and once in awhile low 40's. Very cold! So we hung out near the fire until a little after 2100. It looks so nice out there with the lights on and the fire.

ReplyDeleteHoping to see you soon.
Be Safe and Enjoy!
It's about time.
Hoping to see you two also! We do love our fires, whether inside or outside!
DeleteLove the fire and lights, very festive. Sounds like a busy last few days. Now you can slow down and rest for the big event!!!!
ReplyDeleteYes it's been busy, but time goes so fast anymore..Even a boring day at home seems to go by so fast.
DeleteYou have been busy the fire and Christmas lights looks wonderful , but much to cold for us to enjoy being outside.
ReplyDeleteThank you..yes it was cold but the fire helps!
DeleteThe light parade must have been beautiful. We had our Christmas parade last Friday, after the Girl Scout float went by with our granddaughter on I was back in the car, it was only 15°. Though we did race ahead and see her twice, we are her grandparents after all...lol Oh, our daughter was with her.
ReplyDeleteLove the pictures of your place with the Christmas lights...beautiful.
Oh how fun, even though so cold. Our light parade was so pretty, I was surprised for the size of Yerington. Lot's of people on the streets to watch :) That's what Grandparents do! Thank you. I do love the way it looks at Christmas..just wish the season wasn't so quick to pass by!
DeleteI'm sure you enjoyed the beautiful lights parade but I think the bunkhouse lights view from inside and out were the best!
ReplyDeleteNice last picture of the gang. By the way, you just leave those cold temperatures right there when you leave!
aww thank you Patsy! I'm looking forward to getting away from these temps for sure! Just way too cold! My Brother in law is still fortunate to have his dad..he's such a sweetie. They visit often (he is in retirement home too) just like you visit your mom.
