Christmas Eve

The Christmas tree with all the presents

We all had a wonderful time together, our

numbers were few, but we made new memories

to store away for the future

The best of all gifts around any Christmas tree: the presence of a happy family all wrapped up in each other. ~Burton Hillis

Thanksgiving Day Continued

We were eating Thanksgiving dinner at 5:00, Annie Becky and Cameron decided to do a little afternoon run.  Bobby and I went for a walk (no picture).  We saw our cousin Shirley and family playing at the playground, Bobby really enjoyed seeing her and her family.

Thanksgiving 2009

Sharlene has breakfast on Thanksgiving morning, this started with her daughters when the guys would go hunting.  When the girls would come home from college she kept up this tradition.  Sharlene started inviting others 6 or 7 years ago.  This year was a great year, Kim, Sharon, Jennifer, Mom, Noma, Megan Annie, Me and Sharlene were there.

Sometime we started bringing little gifts for everyone  as you can see, this has grown also.

What a wonderful way to start the day!
