FUN FAMILY CHRISTMAS PARTY!

We had a very fun family gettogether

where everyone played, opened gifts,

and ate lots of yummy food.

Julie and her girls in their cozy PJs

Waiting patiently to

open presents

All the girls in their PJs

Always the center of attention

Rare moment when Mom

let us take her picture with us

Two darling buddy pals

Cute couple

Julie with her bros

Chels seems more like a daughter than

a niece, so this is very fitting

The Gang

There's a lot of preparation in getting ready for family parties

but they're so worth it - especially when they're over

and you know you can sit back and relax!

FUN TIMES!!!

CAN'T BELIEVE WE ATE THE WHOLE THING!

There are many things to be thankful for,

but what I'm most thankful for is

when our family can all get together.

We all ate and ate to our heart's content,

then sat around and visited while all

the cousins played and had fun.

Yummy, whip cream always tastes

better from the fingers!

It's hard to chose from 8 different pies,

but we managed!

All the cousins!

Don't know how Taylor's sleeping

through all the commotion!

Must have eaten a little

too much turkey!

Julie & Jer relaxin'

Chan went snowboarding and

has a sunburned nose - guess we'll

call him Rudolph!

Therese & Chad

Asher loves his car -

he loves to ride it

or push it!

He's walking all over the place now!

Can't believe how big he's getting.

Another fun Thanksgiving with the family.

Now the Christmas season will be in full swing!

FUN FALL ACTIVITIES

I love this time of year and spending

time with the grandkids for all the

fun Halloween activities. We went to

the Scarecrow Festival at

Thanksgiving Point where Berkley

got to perform.

Went to Mason's soccer game.

This was his first year

and he made a lot of goals.

Of course, Halloween wouldn't be complete

without going to Frightmares.

Berkley got lost so I

didn't get any pictures of

her and Rachel.

We lucked out on the weather for

all these fun activities.

We just had our first

snowfall of the year,

so it might be time

for some snow activities.

FALL VISIT WITH RON"S COUSINS

Since we've always lived closer

to my relatives than Ron's,

it's not very often we get to see his.

So we were quite delighted when

some of his favorite cousins called

and said they were coming for a visit.

They came when the fall colors

were on, so we drove the Alpine Loop

and got some great pictures.

Since they're from Florida,

they loved our beautiful mountains.

We had a wonderful time.

They definitely got to see much of

our neck of the woods.

It was fun catching up on

the past few years,

and hearing about some of

their childhood memories.

Hope we can do it again soon!
