Thanksgiving 2020

This year we were a bit wary of Covid, so we decided to eat outside. Beth and her family decided not to come out of abundance of caution and protection of Jude. The weather really cooperated and we had a nice day! 

Silas approves of Mimi's rolls!

Sanchez Grandbabies visit, Silas's first overnight visit with Mimi and Papa.

Anna and Jamie had a party to go to and she asked us to take the kids. This would be the first time that Silas spent the night, and he did wonderfully. We had a great time, making cookies, playing games and, for the first time in over a year, we were able to go and play inside a park!! The girls each had requested certain things to do, and we got them all in!!!

Abbey get baptized Nov. 15th, 2020

Abbey made the decision that she wanted to be baptized. At our church, that is no small endeavor. She had to meet with a pastor, read a book, have our approval based on conversations, and then meet back with the pastor again! 

The big issue was  presenting her testimony. She had to write it, which she did with no problem. The scary part was reading it before the whole church.She decided that she would trust God to help her. That's exactly what he did! She read wonderfully and her words were inspiring!

She wanted to invite friends, so we did. All of her SNAP friends came, along with Anna, Jamie and their kiddos, John, Jr., Mom and Dad. 

After the baptism, we had s'mores and cupcake....

Memories of Grandma

After Lib passed away, Beth and I took a clipping from Lib's huge Christmas Cactus. It has bloomed several times(although mostly before Christmas), and every time I look at it, I remember my mother in law.
