December 2010 Notes

It has been awhile since I made an entry in this blog, but I hope everyone who reads this is fine and are anxiously getting ready for Christmas.  We began December with a wonderful visit to Denver for the blessing of beautiful little Alice Mae.  It certainly was enjoyable for us to be with the 4 families in Denver and Erin and her girls.  You all seem to be doing well and we are so thankful for each of you, especially our grandchildren,.  Here are some visual memories of that visit:












Following Thanksgiving the annual traidtion of putting up the Christmas tree took place and Pam, Erin and Johanna had a good time decorating and playing Christmas music.  Since that date your mother continued the interior and exterior decorations and the following pictures show what a beautiful job she has done: 






This week, which is just before Christmas, we have had warnings of storm, and it seemed to hit with gusto last night.  The forecast is for more through the next few days.  But we awoke to such a beautiful scene this morning.  Actually we awoke much earlier as the power went out at about 2:00 am and despite the fact we should have been sleeping and not noticed it, we did and ended up enjoying some time to ponder about our life together and our children and how blessed we are.  Finally the lights came on about 6:00 am and we turned on the TV to see what was going on through the state and promptly fell asleep.  This is what is looks like around our home this morning.  We just hope it last through Christmas as it is quite warm outside. 









Well family and friends.  We hope you have received our Christmas card and know of our love for each of you and hope this season will be filled with happy days and wonderful traditions.  We will miss your family celebrations and look forward to a Christmas Day phone call.

So glad to see you've posted again! We loved seeing you guys in Denver. I'm so jealous of the snow. Wish some of it would come our way. Merry Christmas!

Don't give up on the snow. This storm system eventually must make it's way east to Denver. It really is beautiful, but getting warmer every day. We may not have a white Christmas after all.
