Okey, this was Thanksgiving with the Sprankles (Aunt Zenie's son Ronnie, his wife, Teeny, Dot and Everett Gaul). You can see Uncle Joe o farthest right, Jane Sprankle (don'r remember last name) Alice and Roy's son and daughter in law At head of table is their grandmother who is 94 years old and acts like a 70 year old
This is me, Alice, Dot, Teeny, Rose, Ronnie
Everett, Jane's husband, and Bill Neville (Dot's sister Pat's husband)
Dad eating while Rudolph looks on--cute, huh??
more of the same--check it out, we used real plates and silverware
The one pouring coffee is Pam and this is her house. The table we used has 7 sections to put in. It sits 16 people. An amazing table!! When you take it all apart it is the size of a card table.
I took this so you could see the wall paper
These were the dessert plates and napkins In the little cup was cranberry juice--we toasted Thanksgiving and family
Now, this is a neat tradition. Dot got up to put her gifts on the table. Everyone brings a gift for each other. Like Dot brought 18 little dishes with homemade candy, dipped pretzels, etc. and covered with pretty celephane and bows. Each person brought the same thing (15 or more) Then they put them all on the table and each person went around the table and took one of every kind on the table. That way you would end up with 15-18 gifts. They let me go around last, making sure everyone else had theirs--they always brought extras.
these were some of the things
Rose brought these beautiful wall hanging and they were beautiful, but inexpensive
more pictures of the things. I thought maybe this would be a great thing in our family for just the ladies to do??? If we start now, the younger generation will soon be able to participate as these mothers, grandmothers and great grandmothers, do.
