A Holly Jolly Christmas

Merry Christmas!  It took me awhile to get motivated to put up a tree this year.  I even thought of putting together a quick trip on 12/24 to avoid it.  The Christmas spirit arrived as soon as I started playing Christmas music.  Bring on the egg nog!

It's great to have older kids.  We started opening presents at noon!

Christmas stockings are the best!  Santa thought Jason needed a blond in his life.

Kevin lives in downtown Denver.  Santa brought him self defense weapons.

Kenny, of course, needed a new man in his life!

Brunch with the family.

Followed by presents.  These kids woke up their parents at 4:00 AM!

Christmas jammies

Max was happy!

Smiles from Gabe!

Crue thought he was getting a football.  Ava didn't like her dance clothes.  Next year she will get toys...duh Grandma!

Fall - My Favorite Time Of The Year!

There's plenty of football cheer in our family.  Cooper & Charlie with Grandpa.  Go Ute's!

Kenny& Murphy moved into their new house.  It was a proud moment for Mom!  Murph just wanted my drink!

Harold & I celebrated our 9 year Anniversary on a ship headed to the Panama Canal.

Even I was impressed with the canal.

I LOVED Costa Rica!

I could stay at this estate forever!  I really need to look into being a sugar cane farmer!

I'm one lucky lady to have this man as my husband!  Harold relaxing after a day of shopping in Grand Cayman.

Then came Halloween!

 HEY!!!

Is that Murphy?

Now, bring on the holidays!  The lights are up, turkey is ordered, and the shopping has begun!

Summer!

We've had a blast this summer!

Road Trip!

The drive to Montana is fabulous if you take the long way.  We spent the first night in West Yellowstone and then headed up toward Bozeman.

We drove and drove and drove!

The drive was worth it!  Townsend takes you back in time.

Harold & Ray

Hay!

Ray & Kathy

Love Ray & Kathy and the old barn!

How pretty is that?

Where the deer and the antelope play...

The old Townsend Church.  I was finally able to go inside and check it out.

Paying our respects to Harold's Mom & Dad.

Valene's grave.  Notice the Diet Coke left in her honor.

After our visit it was time to head north!  We almost made it to Glacier National Park!

We found awesome picnic spots!

There were many lakes along the way.  My favorite was Swan Lake.

Flathead Lake

He is smiling! (almost)

The long drive was worth it.  Time to bring the family up here!
