  • Christmas in June!

    So, I had left off our re-cap, cause I wasn't in the mood or had the time to fiddle around with xanga and bunches of pictures and so forth.
    I'll pick up where I left off....The short -short version. First up, Christmas morning, the girls in their finery and opening some presents from the Sheriff's Office which Frankie's co-workers sent. We had an open house after the a.m. family bit, so we were joined by the V family, the T's,the C's, the A's (who aren't really pictured) The G's and maybe a few others.....
     

    Mae C. & Lizzy                                               Mr.&Mrs. V


    Shayna & Hoppy...  Hoppy opening makeup from the officers and Uncle Conrad saying "from who?"
     
    Hats from the CRT team! Elena wears hers non-stop.  Lizzy with a gift from the Van M's in FL.

    My girls all kitted out in their SCSO outfits! Mister!!!!

    What is Christmas without......TWISTER?!!!  All boy game of course, we no mix the genders...no...no...
    So we have Cousins Gaelan and Isaac, Bradley V. and David A. (Gael's brother-in-law)
     

    Miss Crystal T. holding Declan a.k.a. "Muppet". The son of the family that lived with us for a bit in the fall.

    And poor Baxter, he was played with quite thoroughly and bore it all very patiently.

    On to January and Elena's 10th birthday. She was joined by her buddy, Holly G. who celebrated her birthday around the same time- so we combo-ed a party on the fly at a small group meal we opened our house up for after church, it was a spontaneous, if you come, you'll be at a party...so have fun!
