Celebrating Christmas

December 23, 2008

Eddy & Beth arrived around 7pm. Pretty tired from the ride, especially when crossing into Michigan. Eddy said that I-75 was completely snow covered. It took almost an hour to travel 25 miles at one point. We all were in bed for the night by 9pm., knowing we will have a busy 2 days ahead of us.

It has been our tradition that on Christmas Eve, Wilma's side of the family gets together for a dinner and to exchange gifts. This year it was Connie's turn to host the get together, however she asked if we could have the gathering at our home. She prepared ALL the food and brought it with them. Wow did she fix a spread of delicious food! Well done Connie!
Dinner was served at Noon, and afterward we exchanged gifts. Everyone had a great time, and it was nice to get "caught up" on what has all been happening in everyone's life.

Eddy figured out why we had so much snow!

Wilma has a winter sign hanging on our gate that says "Let It Snow".

It's our tradition to have our daughters and grandkids over for a breakfast before opening gifts.

The day started with a great breakfast prepared by Fred & Eddy.

Angel and Brook arrived first around 9am, hungry and excited for the presents. Angel had a cold so she felt a little under the weather.
Tina and her family arrived at 10am, hungry, ready to eat and open their presents. Eddy prepared the Biscuits and Gravy. I did the eggs and bacon. Mmmmm Goooood!!!!

After breakfast everyone went to the living room to see what Santa brought.

The Kids and Grand Kids had a great time opening their presents. Everyone had a wonderful time and enjoyed all the wonderful gifts they received. "Santa" did real good this year!

By 5pm everyone was gone. Eddy & Beth left to stay with Connie for a few days.

Wilma got in her relaxed mode and.......

took a little snooze with Kybee.

From our family to yours, we wish you Happy Holidays and a prosperous, healthy New Year!

Until our next Adventure....
be safe and God Bless.

It's Great News!!!

Today has been a great day with great news!

Connie, Wilma's sister had a Dr. appointment to find out the results of the biopsy from her tongue.

The Dr. said they caught it very early and she is fine. No cancer remains on her tongue.

We are all so relieved by this news. Especially Wilma!


Now she can start planning for the Christmas visit from her brother who lives in Kentucky. She said it feels like the world has been lifted off her shoulders.

Thanks to all who kept Connie in your prayers.

Until next time, be safe and God bless.

Christmas Get together

December 30, 2007

Our family had our Annual Christmas Get Together at the Best Western Concord Inn on Sunday December 30th.

As Catherine, my sister, lives "up north" now. When they come in to town for a visit, they stay at this Hotel. Very nice! As Scott, her husband, does business with the Concord Inn, they arranged for us all to have a family get together for Christmas.

We all had a great time exchanging gifts after we had a great lunch together.

Following the exchange of gifts the pool was open for everyones use.

Wilma and I still are feeling "under the weather" so we decided to pass on the pool swim.

Come back again for more adventures of ours.
