BROOKE

and

EVA

I hung all 14 Grandchildren stockings from the ceiling this year as there was no room on the fireplace. I think they looked cute.:

I did not put up a live tree this year for the first time ever!

I was a little sad, but I hung up lights between the fans and it looked festive.

I just miss the smell.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

THANKFUL FOR IT ALL.....

I was cleaning out a closet the other day to make room for something new and came across many of my girls formals. Analyn tried them on. [I wish I would have taken a picture of her in them, but the moment is gone.] Many were made by their Aunt Peggy. Some were borrowed, definitely the 90's dresses. Puffed sleeves, off the shoulder sleeves, necklines cut in from the sleeve. Velvet with gold or silver inlaid, lace bibs, those good old days...what were we thinking? I cut out the "dates" to protect the innocent! Here are some pictures of my girls in them:

I also found this one. Yellowed from 40 years in plastic. Hate to chuck it, but what do you do with it?
1971

2011

What would we do without our memories? I guess even the DI could not use a yellowed wedding dress from 1971...sad really. Don't you think?

EXTRA, EXTRA, READ ALL ABOUT IT....

......CHRISTIAN TURNS 6 !!!!

HOPE IT WAS A GOOD ONE!!

HUGS, GRANDMA.
