2025 Meister Christas
The snow falling last night didn't amount to much at all. It was cold and stayed cold all day. Joan joined Diane and I on a short walk over to her house. Bethany and Bill's family had arrived last night and she checked in with them then walked back to mom's and quit as she wanted to take the breakfast over to them. Right after breakfast I drove to Sam's club to pick up 2 bags of ice plus a few other items that were needed for the reindeer dessert. That turned out pretty tasty and wasn't too hard to make. I made a double batch.
Mark got a bale moved into the middle paddock while I was gone. We are planning on moving Evan over into that paddock as soon as his current bale is gone. A nice hot fire was built in the living room wood burner before starting on the food for tonight's Christmas party. Mark found some hooks that he had in the back garage and brought them up to the house. They were pretty old and rusty and not at all what I envisioned for the coat room. Thankfully Anna found the perfect hooks on Amazon and those were ordered. They are supposed to be here by Wednesday.The coat room has plenty of wall space to hang an abundance of them. The Meister Christmas party was supposed to start at 6:00 pm and I had the party potatoes, green beans and reindeer dessert ready by 5:00 pm. Mark left to pick up the 200 pieces of fried chicken from Kroger. When I was loading the food into the car it started snowing and by the time the party was over all of the cars were covered with a thick 4 inches of wet heavy snow. We were expecting 150 but 18 ended up cancelling either the weather or a sick child. We had 132 people come. I took pictures and videos but when I got home the phone was dead so tomorrow will post them here when I finish this post. Right now I'm heading to bed. It is WAY past my bedtime.
