Happy Weekend

 For us, Friday night was family night.  It wasn't planned- it just happened.  I had made a pot pie with leftover roast beef, and knew that Kristin, Izzy and the twins would be joining us.  But, to my surprise, Mary and family showed up for pot pie, too.  We prayed over the pot pie, but still it wouldn't serve enough, so we ordered pizza.  And it was so much fun.  Isn't it funny how the spur-of-the-moment things can turn out better than events you plan for days!!

It took a while for the pizza to arrive, so as you can see by my "monster clock" (as SIL Jimmy calls it) it was after 6:30  when we ate.  And when Izzy asked for the choo choos, Pap put the Christmas train platform on a folding table in the living room, and oila - trains.  Krissy is manning the controls, and Kristin is just enjoying the pizza.  Bubby is on the stool with his pizza in front of him, but quite frankly, when there's trains, pizza is nothing.  The set is a great western freight set, complete with a Lincoln log car, a car with horses, and even some Lincoln logs to build with.  Rod and both loved Lincoln logs as kids, and our grandkids seem to have inherited our love for them.

I'm really getting excited about Christmas, and better go and get started on gifts.
