Patricia came to visit and help with Mom’s house. She forgot socks so she wore a “pair” of mine. We later ended up at Five Guys after we were too late to get SoFresh. 🙁
Jeaux and I invited Dad and Connie over for Christmas Eve dinner! We made white bean pot pies, homemade dinner rolls, vegan scalloped potatoes, green bean casserole, whipped cauliflower, and homemade gravy. We had a gift exchange after dinner. And then there was a gingerbread roll and five kinds of homemade cookies!
Our mom’s dedication was today. We went out on a boat and watched her reef ball be added to the reef project. We saw dolphins! And we also decorated a tribute reef with flowers and said our final goodbyes to our mom. And we got boba after.
We stayed over in Sarasota at my dad’s house after our mom’s viewing and had some yummy food at a restaurant (Ash was overwhelmed by a waffle!) and then they spent some time swimming and we even got to play Cards Against Humanity (family edition).
We got to come see Mom’s reef ball with the completed collar and the “pearl” inside which contained her ashes. We made rubbings of the plaque for ourselves and our mom’s siblings.
