Sorting through memories
While the sisters were in town we had to go through the memory boxes. My sisters found old date books and a bunch of mementos.

Sisters getting stuff done
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. 🙁

Christmas Eve Dinner
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!

Dedication Day
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.
Dolphins!
