CHRISTMAS CAME AND WENT ALREADY

Our two youngest and their families are not going to be here at Christmas time this year. Jeff & Marianne & the girls are going to Malaysia and will be leaving on the 11th to be gone a month. Jen & Bob & D are spending Christmas at Bob's folks this year. So, we had Christmas the Saturday after Thanksgiving while they all were here. We had our small tree and a nativity candle up as our only decorations. The kids had a great time and Katrina declared it to be her best Christmas ever!!! That was fun to see her so excited. I got some new drink glasses from Jeff & Marianne and a 2008 picture calendar of Decovin. David got gift cards for Lowes & Home Depot. We still have Savings Bonds to get for the 3 kiddos yet.

Thanksgiving at Ruth and Bob's was a blast! So much fun with all the kids and talking about our memories, etc. Thanks Ruth & Bob for a great time!

We also had another Thanksgiving get-together with David's side of the family at Janette & Danny's. Both sets of parents were there. Only thing missing were Mendy & Jim and Jimmie & Rosemary & family. They celebrated together at Mendy & Jim's place in Arkansas.

We are trying to get the rest of the month figured out. Norma & Don are having their popcorn stringing party on the 16th. Dad & Loree won't be having their open house as they are going to Florida with Mendy & Jim to have a warm Christmas Vacation. We are going to my sister Melodie's for Christmas and to David's sister Marilyn's on the Sunday before Christmas.

I will be putting my pictures of Thanksgiving on Kodak Gallery soon. Jen, Jeff & Christy beat me to it already so mine will be boring next to theirs. LOL

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO EVERYONE!
