Holiday Happenings

These past 2 weeks have flown by way too fast. It is almost 2007. Where did Christmas go? We were blessed this Christmas with being surrounded by family. The holidays started out with an early celebration at the Connells so we could share Christmas with Tommy, Ruth, and John before they headed off on another excursion. (I hope you all got to see some snow!) In all, there was 5 grandbabies running around - with another one coming soon in the spring (are you sure it is not twins Justin and April? - that is all of the 'firsts' left - beside blonde children that is. Peter and Amanda's cutie below, Eleanor, loved to have her photo taken and then see herself in the camera. Dash claimed I kept taking pictures of her because that is what I want my daughter to look like - snow white hair and big blue eyes.

John loved the present Ruth and Tommy gave us almost more than his own presents at first - but it does have 'doors' that open and close. As soon as the weather clears and the ground dries up, we cannot wait to use our new picnic set, complete with wine glasses!
The White House Gingerbread House shindig was great, and we moved up from last year's last place to 3rd place "Most unique" with our winter skate park.



We hope everyone had a blessed, safe, and memorable Christmas and cannot wait to see everyone in 2007!
