Family Time

Happy Tuesday to you; hard to believe it's Halloween. Last Friday, Carrie hosted our quarterly tea party/luncheon for all the little girls. It is always so very fun and watching them learn how to be gracious hostesses. Here is the luncheon that Carrie's oldest girls prepared; however I took the salad in a Christmas bowl-wanted to be the first to have something for Christmas.

Carrie made us all wonderful name tags; I know we will use them for Thanksgiving too.

Here are our eight granddaughters.  I love each of their different personalities and each one holds a very special place in my heart.

That evening we celebrated three birthdays-Carrie is on the left and had a birthday a week ago and our two son in laws had a birthday on Sunday.  With our large family, we tend to do parties with more than one person celebrating their birthday.  Kim is on the right of me-wearing a shawl she made.

Our oldest son in law-with our youngest granddaughter.

Kim's hubby; we gave both guys the exact same gift certificate to Scheels Sporting Goods.  They love them and already know what they are getting.

I spent this morning at one of my neighbor/walking partner having "coffee or cider", which usually means that it is more like a breakfast.
Hubby and I are going to the movies this afternoon to see A Different Kind of Me.  I've heard great things about it and can't wait-but will take my Kleenex.
I hope you have a great last day of October.  Hard to believe tomorrow is November 1st.
Joy to you!
