Christmas morning

Christmas morning

Brianna's American Girl got an American Girl
Everyone was excited even the cat and dog

next year I'm getting Lilie a cat

Yes Katie Finally got me

we play a game every year and the loser has to buy

the winner a Christmas present.

Enjoy this one Katie cause you'll be buying next year.

Santa brought Osiris a bed and she knew just what to do with it

see she would rather have a cat than a present

Brian with his book , just before he opened his

metal detector

Santa Brought Brianna a new bike and matching helmet.

she can't wait to ride it outside.

That present wasn't even for her.

Brianna and Natalie in matching robes.


Marci is not pictured here but her husband and daughter bought her a wonderful gift basket from bath and body full of products in her favorite scent and many other great gifts that she loved. They are the best.

Christmas Eve

The Traditional Christmas eve Gift game

Twas the night before Christmas and at my Mother's
house , we were playing bunko
as quietly as a mouse

Someone's turning 28

IT was the Eve of Katie's 28th birthday

so we celebrated like anyone should

and ate Mexican food and went to Boarders

Mary Celebrating Katie's Birthday is becoming

great a tradition.

That's me with my wolf man

That's the lucky man (Jason) that got to give Katie her birthday kisses

and Brianna makin a funny face as usual

three cuties

" mom can I have a Margareta? "

Boarders

not just for books but birthdays too

HO HO HO

Taylor told Santa she wanted a skunk

Morgan was an old pro at the Santa thing
but Sam was not so sure

Bri and Santa go way back

aren't we cute?

TACO CHEZ

In November My Cousin Chez visited.

He works in the White house in D.C.

so we don't get to see him much

Brianna has a special affection for him , and nicknamed him

Taco Chez ( I think because we usually have taco's with him)

I forgot to turn that one

but I think it is kinda fun to leave it this way

Taco Chez, Aunt Cathy and Chad

The ZOO in NOVEMBER

There was this one crazy weekend in November

where the temperature was like 80 degrees

so we went to the zoo
