CHRISTMAS 2008

THIS IS OUR 12th CHRISTMAS TOGETHER AND AS WE GET OLDER THE GIFTS BEGIN TO TAKE A WHOLE NEW MEANING " WE DON'T NEED ANYTHING SO WHAT SHALL WE DO" THIS YEAR WE ARE GOING TO ACAPLCO AND THAT IS OUR GIFT TO OURSELVES. IT IS ALWAYS FUN TO MAKE A BRAKE FOR SUNNY BEACHES, READING BOOKS AND DOING NOTHING!

THE NUTCRACKER 2008

IT WAS OUR ANNUAL DINNER BEFORE SEEING THE NUTCRACKER. WE WENT TO THE BLUE IGUANA FOR A FUN MEXICAN DINNER.

Margot and me

MARGOT AND I GOT TO SPEND A LOT OF TIME JUST PLAYING AROUND THE HOUSE. AS MUCH AS I DON'T LIKE SHETLON PONIES IN THE HOUSE, I COULDN'T STAND LEAVING SYDNEY THE DOG OUTSIDE. SHE LOVES TO KISS MARGOT AND IS HUGELY LOVING.

The Happy Graduates

WELL, MATT AND CHALENE GRADUATED! MARGOT AND I WERE SO PROUD OF THE BOTH OF THEM. I AM SO GLAD THAT I WAS ABLE TO BE THERE AND SHARE WITH THEM IN THE GREAT MOMENT IN THEIR LIVES!

The Christmas Bomb has hit

Yes the Christmas Bomb(as Matt puts it) has hit. We have our annual party coming up and I have already spent 3 days trying to lay out some decorations. I only put up 3 Christmas Trees this year and I have cut back on the decorations because we have a pool table downstairs and there isn't enough room for everything. Come and see us. We love to entertain!

Swimming with the sharks

Floyd absolutely loved the shark pool with the large stingrays and baby sharks right at his fingertips. He splashed enough of the water on the front of him to drench his shirt and make the stingrays swim up to his tiny fingers to see just who was having all that fun in their pool. Needless to say, if I hadn't held on to him tightly he would of gone swimming with them. Gracie asked the guard if she could get in and swim with the sharks. She thought they looked so cute.

Four makes a family

Yes, Chalene,Matt and Margot are going to add to their family next summer. Everyone is hoping that this next baby will be a mild mannered and sweet as our little Margot. She is such a sweet happy little baby. Grammy B loves her and can't get enough of her.

Paul J

Paul J had so much fun with all the grandkids. Between the trains flying everywhere except on the train table and the pool games, it was a busy day in the basement!

Fishing around

Margot and Grammy and of course Floyd were watching the fish get fed at the Aquarium. The kids

especially enjoyed watching the king crab get his diner.

ALL MY CHILDREN

I love all my children!

I love all my children! Thanksgiving was just that!THANKSGIVING
All the Kids posed for pictures

quickly so that they could play pool, watch movies and compare school,

grad school and baby's. Rob and Krissy weren't able to be there for pictures, but Rob made it home from the hospital just in time to sit down and enjoy and delicious turkey dinner and orange rolls

Grammy B and her G-kids

Yes, Thanksgiving was just that for me. I had all my children with me and all my Grandchildren were loving being with me also. We have a new pool table, and we bought a large train table with the whole train set. I had new movies, games, activities and lots of good food to keep them all entertained. I loved it!
