Christmas 2008





Merry Christmas!




Christmas 2008 is here and gone. I feel so blessed to have such a loving family. We had a wonderdul day visiting, eating, and opening presents. I only hope that the new year will continue to be a time of happiness and success for my family. I always take time to remember Dad and how much he would enjoy spending time with his children and grandchildren during the holidays. His spirit lives on in each of us and he will always be a part of our Christmas memories. To all of my friends and family reading this, I say Merry Christmas and thank you for being a part of my life.

October, November, December

I know it's been a while since I've updated this blog, so I thought I would just share some pictures of the past couple of months. In October, we had our 10th Crop-Over, plus Joe and I were busy with our daily routines. Here's a few pictures from the crop:
In November, Joe and I went to Cedar Point with the Metzkers. Although it was cold, we had a great time and Evan was adorable in his bat costume.

Of course, we had a traditional Thanksgiving dinner. Afterwards, I tried to take a family picture, but no one cooperated. Then we were out the door at 2:00 am for Black Friday shopping. Nathan and Natalie went with us this year. We drove to Teresa's house and hit the stores before 5:00 am. We finished our day 17 hours later!
Now that we've made it to December, I'm sure we'll be busy with Christmas events. One of our traditions is to invite over my family for the evening. This year we included the newest members of our family, the Metzkers to join us. Also, this was the first family Christmas event for Dennis'
new wife Brenda.
