Christmas Day, December 25, 2011

Family, Food, and Fun!!
Who could ask for more for Christmas? 
It was wonderful to have all of our family here on Christmas Day.
Gracie read the Christmas story from the Bible to us -
the reason we celebrate 
Christmas--the birth of our Savior and Lord.
The food was good and blessed before we ate.
Rudy and my daughter-in-law Christy
Nathan the baby of the bunch had the largest package
and was quite anxious to open it.
My David, Daddy to our kids, Grandpa to our grands.
Gillan, our first grandchild - sitting in the rocking chair
we gave him for his first Christmas - 1998.
He sure has grown.
Granddaughter Gracie with her daddy, Rudy - my first born.
Checking out the Apples to Apples game.


Craig, Nathan and Katie
Son-in-law Craig in the blue tee shirt below and Andrew
grinning, always have fun playing games.
They had a serious Monopoly game going.
Taking a break from the crowd???
Awe, my daughter Katie with Andrew - her middle son.
"My Boy"
Gracie and her Mom
Joshua playing with my Nook Color.
At one point about half of the family was on
some kind of technical gadget.  Myself included,
of course.
Nathan had lots of help from his brothers Josh
and Andrew.
Grandpa got involved with the toys too.
Someone is missing....oh it is me...
I am always behind the camera.  I plan it that way.

A Blast from the Past

Wow, I stumbled across this picture yesterday looking for something else.
This is reaching way back to days gone by.
Bacone College Nursing Graduate - 1975
 

I have had many nursing experiences since that day.
Always proud to be a nurse!
