Birthday dinner at Las Casuela’s La Quinta with Dad, Ray, sister Aubrey and brother AJ with Gramma Dixie and Papa Frank.
We had a nice dinner with Micaela after she got off work and we got to see her new car. A very nice evening!
The next evening we were invited to a birthday party for a friend of a friend. So, of course we went. Phyllis is not going to have here traditional Christmas party, so instead she hosted a 60th birthday dinner for her friend Mary.

On Tuesday we head off to Lancaster. We are taking the car and leaving the MH in Indio. “I’ll drive,” I think Frank is still tired of all the driving he did last week! Laurie flew in from NJ on Friday, so she has been home for a couple of days. She can work from either coast and did have to go into the Lancaster office while there.
The first day were there we went to where Rachel and family are staying and cooked dinner. We made Prime Rib dinner—always a tradition when we were living in the house. Just used to be the day after Thanksgiving instead of the day before. But it tasted just as good!
THANKSGIVING DAY AT DOUG’S HOME IN LANCASTER, CA
This year our dinner was at Doug Price’s home in Lancaster. Laurie had flown in for the holiday, Doug’s parents came over. Son, Ray and family all came over, as well as Rachel and family. Laurie and Doug had set up one room as a buffet, we had two turkeys, one deep fried and one cooked on the Weber. All the fixings to go with it.

Dig in, everything tastes really good and there is so much to eat and so much to be thankful for. Family, health, friends and homes. We are all very blessed.
Frank and Nicole doing clean up. I think we kept Frank at the sink for almost an hour while we cleared up the food. Lots of leftovers! We had four different kinds of pies for desert as well as ice cream and whipped cream.
Little Eldon was sick all during dinner and slept through the eating. After a bath and some medicine the whole Ivison family left for home. He missed playing with his cousins AJ and Aubrey.
The next day he was feeling better but still had a cough so he stayed at home with his Daddy.
Laurie, Nicole and I did a short trip to the Mall to Victoria Secret for a short buying trip. We all got the 2012 pink tote. I gave mine to Rachel because she couldn’t come with us. We took it over to her that afternoon and checked in on our sick boy. He is feeling much better. He really loves his Grannie!
This is our last day here and we are all tired of turkey and cooking so out to dinner we go. Doug, Laurie, Doug’s Mom and Dad, Frank and I and Doug’s son Tyler all met at Claim Jumper. Allie stayed home with Eldon and Rachel and little Adele joined us. Sort of a good by dinner.
Good bye little ruffle bum! We will miss you.
