Happy New Year Everyone!

Dad is 88 years old and ailing from alzheimers and becoming more frail. I think this will be the last time he is ever able to come to my home...it was very hard on him (and hard on me to watch) as he could hardly walk, and then to get him in and out of the car was very difficult. He ate well, then slept in this chair this eve of Christmas. What a wonderful Father!
This has been a wonderful Christmas and happy holidays! ( Went by way too fast) We have been blessed this year and continue to count our many blessings! We didn't get to see LoraLeigh and Todd's families but look forward to our upcoming fun Summer that is planned. We did get to skype visit with LL's family so we did kind of get to see them!

Our daughter, Marcy lives nearby so we had some fun celebrations with her family!

Trevon received a remote control helicopter...of which you cannot really see here...but he is flying it..it's in the front lower right of the tv at this moment. Uncle Tim loved it too, he has gone out and bought himself the same toy since. It is pretty cool I must say!

I love that Christmas time is about getting together as families and friends. We had these times and more...We had friends over at our home this past Monday evening (no pics) but we did..very fun. Also a New years eve party last night at some other friends! Great times for laughing, games, food and HUGS!

Such a good picture of Marcy's family. They are growing up way too fast. Our grandsons from this sweet family are good boys and we sure think the world of them.. and of course their parents!


Yep! This is a 3 generation picture. Mom, me and my daughter. We were so happy to have mom and dad come share with us our traditional Christmas Eve dinner. By the way, Marcy did the design on Grandmas shirt years back, but Grandma loves to get it out and wear it at Christmas time.

I can't remember what we were laughing over...but it had to be funny!

Time for visiting is always the greatest to just sit and be with one another and not be in any hurry to get anywhere...love that.


Happy Grandpa...enjoying his time off! We sure hope 2011 is the best for everyone of our family members and wonderful friends.

Well we sure missed out on the fun in person, but we did enjoy the visit over the computer! I hate to see Gpa getting so frail too! I sure wish I was not so far away around the holidays. Looking forward to seeing everyone soon...

If I remember correctly... the laughing was due to a pose you were suggesting be done for the special 3 generation shot. hmmmm?
