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

Happy New Year.. Happy New Decade

Happy New year everyone!!!!!!!!, Kaya could not wait until midnight to strike, so she could celebrate. Every hour she would ask is it time yet.... We toasted the New year in with sparkling grape juice, poppers, and Party Hats. We watched out the window for about 30 minutes as the firework display was shooting into the sky..

Looking Back

This is the SADDEST year I have lived through... each of us lost DEAR LOVED ONES in our family... My Biggest was my DAD...you know in life you are going to lose your parents sooner or later, but you are never truely prepared even if you know they are sick... then my brother in law Jeff lost his PAPA, I did not know him but I'm sure it was hard to say good-bye.. just as it was for us to say good-bye to BUMPA.. my brother in law Kevin lost his Dad without any warning... no time to say good-bye... very hard just the same... I will miss his smile... Our SWEET GEORGE... what can I say... we all loved him... Aunt Jeanine, along with two of my friends , and Bernie all in a two week period.. some with illness, Bernie without a warning or being able to say good-bye... then not only did the children lose grandpa's, but also pets... We have had alot of loss ,but still have Loved ones.. Family, Faith & Health....Life is still good because of the people in our lives that we lost... We are what we are because of them... I'm hoping the New Year brings happiness and lots of good memories of the ones we lost near and dear to us..
