Christmas 2007

Here are some of the picture highlights of our Christmas.


Dec 16
Mother's Group - Here was our traditional mother’s group Christmas party. We were missing 4 people because of illness. We had a wonderful Filet Mignon feast and talked about up coming weddings, grandchildren and old age. Isn’t that just about the typical discussion for our age group? We’ve been having Christmas gatherings for over 25 years.






Dec 23rd (My birthday)
Kevin, Katie, Steven, Ron, Pam, David and Gregory came by for a visit. The Grandmas came too! Chris, Jess, Maryn and Lucy were staying with us.

Men and Women caring for babies. It's just different!

Here is a sample of the Ballanti Boys taking care of Lucy. I’m not sure about this!
Here is a sample of Pam taking care of Lucy. Good job Pam!





Here is a sample of Katie taking care of Lucy. Good job Katie!







Here is Grandpa teaching Lucy the intricacies of using a marshmallow gun. I’m not sure about this!
Steven tried to walk
We really tried hard to get Steven to take his first steps. He didn’t quite do it.








Dec 23rd Gathering at Smylie's House

Later that evening we went to Buca de Beppo for an Italian feast. It’s not bad having birthday’s right near Christmas. There are lots of people to celebrate with you.

Dec 24th
Here was our walk to the park on Christmas Eve. It was over 70 degrees and beautiful out. We fed the ducks at Miles Square Park. We didn’t see the “Do not feed the ducks” sign.





Maryn loves to be outside!

Christmas morning
Can you believe that both kids were happy? Well, check out the piece of chocolate in Maryn’s hand. It pays to bribe for great smiles.

All of the Family with my mother on Christmas morning


My mother is recovering from a broken hip and suffering from a blood clot in her leg. She was doing pretty good considering all of her complications.
