thanksgiving in belle

my sister and i had the same idea... it has been traditional in our family to have three football mums on the table for thanksgiving. it started when my dad bought my great grandmother a pretty glass pitcher with lilies on it with 3 huge yellow mums in it for one thanksgiving. my grandmother got the vase and the tradition and then i got it and the tradition. so when i went to belle for thanksgiving this year i stopped in rapid and bought three mums. she had already ordered 3 mums in belle plus a nice red vase (since i had given the orginal to my daughter). so this year we had three mums in a nice red vase for thanksgiving. the vase stayed at james'.

for some strange reason we had snowmen plates and table cloth for thanksgiving. everyone in town who was realted and friend came over. moms and dads and grandmothers and friends...so quite a crew.
i bought plates and table clothe and center pieces as a hostess gift. at any rate they will be ready for christmas too. it was a nice meal.

i took the vase and a boquet with three large mums up to boise at thanksgiving so the tradition lives on in multiple places.
