Happy New Year 2013

Well here we are again...another year in the books and a New Year starting off. I hope that this year brings you all the happiness that 2012 forgot to bring, may this year let the worries of the last year be forgotten..
 So here's to fresh starts and hopeful beginnings... and may the money fairy bless you with well...you get the idea =} grins!

Shriner Winter Social

We had a fancy Shriner Party this month that we were able to attend... it seems more and more difficult to find an excuse for the super fancy party clothes to come out to play...but this sure fit the bill! I've been waiting for the perfect event to break out this dress and here it was the Winter Social. We had a really nice time and I guess this will get me through another year in jeans and t shirts... LOL. =)

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year...

4 Generations...

Jason meets his great grandma

Here's a picture I wanted to share from last year... this is 4 generations of my family... my Grandma, my mother, my sister,and my nephew... grandmas first great grandson.

Thanksgiving 2012

April and her boys, Kevin and Jason

George tickling Jason's ears =)

Happy Thanksgiving!
We did our family celebration yesterday.. since George has to work tonight it makes it easier, he doesn't have to rush off to work or for a nap right after dinner. We had a fairly full house this year. James and April and of course the nephews came, Mom and her friend Roberta, George and I and George's Mom Claudette. We had a great time. George was able to get Jason to play...he's been too shy most of the times he's seen him so this was a special treat! Grandma got to hold her newest grandson Kevin.

Grandma holding Kevin for the 1st time

Kevin trying to stay awake to see what all the fuss is.

I just wanted to take a minute to say how Thankful I am for all my friends and family...they can make me crazy but they make life better. Appreciate those loved ones in your life, even the difficult ones, they are only on loan to us and we never know when they may be gone.

Happy Thanksgiving.

Then it was dinner time here's her Daddy Nick and Oma at the little table eating with Cassie.. she was very adamant about the specific chairs that everybody sat in.. they needed to be exactly where they belonged! =)
