Well here it is the day after Christmas and a day of catching our breath after such a full schedule the last few weeks. As I said in the last post, Chet and Cookie and I made it to Nampa on a Saturday two weeks ago. That meant we only had a little while to get ready for the big day. Cookie had to go right to work that Sunday so we didn't get to spend much time together like we usually do getting ready for the Holidays. Erica and Melissa had to work overtime as well because of the time off for their trip to Las Vegas, but, all worked out beautifully as it always does.
We opted for the traditional turkey dinner, this year, with all the trimmings and it was wonderful. Lindsey, Marlin and Kylie, Kevin, Marissa and new baby girl Aurora came over for dinner. Aurora was born on Thanksgiving Day and what a cutie she is and a cuddle bunny. It was the first time I got to see my latest Great grandchild and a while since I got to hold a baby. Her big four year old sister, Marissa, entertained Aurora and the rest of us with the wonder of it all. Of course the some of the other great grandkids were here and made the day a delight showing their talents as photographers. Nothing like new digital cameras to bring out the ham in everyone. Ady did a video which we all watched on the "big screen" that had tears running down all our faces.
Well I hope you all had as much fun as this clan and just think it is only 364 days until we can all do it again.


Love to all
