Christmas 2007

This was a week long activity this year. We got our tree up on December 1st. Quite an accomplisment for us. Christmas dinner was at our house this year. We invited Don and Judy (Kittra's dad and stepmom) to join us. That was special for us...Thanks for coming Don and Judy. Also invited were Chris and Carol....and daughter Ali. We had 26 for dinner. After dinner and before gifts some of us went caroling around part of our housing complex. Several families really liked it and the KIDS HAD A BLAST!

Another Wedding 9/23/2007

Tricia's Neice, Teresa, got married in San Diego. The wedding was about 5PM Sunday evening. It was great weather. A little windy but it was great. The sun was getting low by the time pictures were taken after the wedding. Several months ago Teresa called me up and asked if I would give her away. Of course I said yes. She married Mike Maltby.

I have pictures to post but I took so many it has been hard to choose the best ones to post. They should be posted in a couple days.
