World's Greatest Dad

I know I am a day early, but I have to work early tomorrow, so I started making this smile box on Thursday so that I could post it by the 25th
One year ago tomorrow my sweet Dad left this world.... I was able to be there with my Son Troy , Sister Connie & Cousin Eric as he took his finally breath..and slip away peacefully to heaven. I cannot put into words how much I miss him.... LOVE YOU!!!

Back in School

This week Teresa went back to school after being out since 2002... She is very nervous but yet excited. Kaya is having a hard time being separated from her, but she will be all right. I explained that once Mommy's done with school she can find a good job and then they can buy there own house to live in, and she needed to be proud of her. We are proud of her. The classes she has are hard, but she'll make it.

Back in the day

This week I was going through some old pictures to post on Facebook for back in the day... these were taken in 1957 & 1958 they really were back in the day

We had our Family Christmas party last night at Shawn & Becky's house we had a real good turn out this year. Becky decorated her house so cute, with snowmen, skates and ski's...a beautiful tree. Everyone brought food for the dinner... of course it was very good... and after dinner we opened ornaments that Mom gave each family... I forgot to take pictures of the kiddy table... so I added pictures of some of the little ones taken two weeks earlier
