Christmas is done and now on to New Years! :)

 We had a nice Christmas weekend, different from all the others because we didn't go over to California this year. Other than missing the family there we enjoyed the laid back feeling of Christmas day. Normally it's not like that. 

Some of my favorite young men ๐Ÿ’™ Adam, Mason, Seth, Aaron, Jacob, Jesse and 
Dusty ๐Ÿ’—

Cassidy in front wanted a girl picture ๐Ÿ’—
Chelsea, Christina, Holly, Erin, Lori, Erin, Chloe and Mel
a few more didn't make it to the picture. 

    Adam, Eric, Mason, Seth, Aaron, Jacob and Russell, our grandsons and their

    dads. Only one missing was Bryan, who lives in Arkansas now. 

We started our weekend with Champagne Sunday. It was cold as you can see by the iced windows. I love this when the windows look like this. Ken started a nice fire which helped warm the outdoor kitchen. 




As it was Christmas Eve I made mashed potatoes to take next door to have along with the leg of lamb John was making. 

A very nice evening with their family.

Monday morning we took our time and enjoyed our Christmas morning. Later in the afternoon we headed over to Izzie's house (Karen's mom). She had made a huge pot of Pazole to share with everyone. After returning home we went next door for a bit. 

Tuesday, Ken got some of our presents hung. Got a few here.







                           Ken had a little time to play with his new toy, the cargo trailer. 

                   The Can Am fits nicely! 

                            

Wednesday we decided to hit Walmart and Ken wanted to drop off a tire and rim with Discount Tire in Carson. The Mansion needed one replaced. With any luck we'll get out of here for a few weeks. Ken has an appointment at the end of the month so we've got a little time. The tire was supposed to be done at 1400 but it wasn't by the time we were ready to head home.

We bought a new Mr. Heater (big buddy) to put in the Komfort fifth wheel and John bough two so Thursday we headed for Sparks to pick those up. As long as we're in the Reno area, a Total Wine stop is needed. All stops went smoothly.  Linner at Sharkey's in Gardnerville and then home. Pretty much killed another day. 

We've got company coming this weekend. ๐Ÿ˜Š Hopefully the expected snow over the summit won't amount to much. It was going to be a bigger group, but looks like it'll be smaller. Still waiting to hear from a few! 

Happy Hour time! ๐Ÿท๐Ÿบ Have a great evening!

    1. It was a good Christmas for sure. I didn't think you'd want to see the frost and I just love the way it looks :) It was cold.

  5. I love the outdoor kitchen. It sounds like a great way to spend the holidays. I enjoyed all the pics. I had no the CanAm would fit but now the question is, can you still use the cots while it’s in there? lol. Enjoy the company, large or small gathering doesn’t matter, enjoy!

    1. The answer to your question is no. We will have to have the Can Am outside before setting up cots. Yes, we are looking forward to company later today! :)
