December 13. Two cute granddaughters!! Wonderful parents too!

Blessing Day for Gracen. What a beautiful family. Let's see it was December 13. Jaron had known Gracen less than 24 hours.

Alden's Major Owie

One miss-step and BAM into the organ bench.

OK...right after it happened photo!! Nasty owie Alden. All the blood eventually pooled under his eye so Alden had a nice shiner for two weeks. Which eventually turned that awful yellow-green, but we're glad he looked much better when he returned to Saba.

This was a few days after Gracen was born. Hard to believe she is two months old now.

This week the girls had their ultrasounds. Becky had hers on Wednesday. She is having a boy. Alissa had hers on Thursday, she is having a girl. I finished up a few Christmas gifts this week. And feeling kind bah-hum-bug so I need to get the shopping done before I totally give up. Maybe its a lack of sleep. I'm feeling really happy if I get five hours anymore. Frustrated with life the last 5-6 months. Need to be able to support myself but can't figure out how to make it happen.

Back-tracking to Thanksgiving. Dad and Jo had dinner with us. We had a semi-house full. I think we managed 21 this year. I had great help organizing from the kids. They really pitched in to help. I guess after working so hard on getting the meal made that I didn't enjoy it much. I remember as a kid how yummy grandma's food was. It didn't really feel like Thanksgiving. Maybe it was because I missed not having watched football or the dog competitions (sorry can't think right now what they are called.) But I was totally relieved when I found out that Mark had dinner with Cher and Carrie and their girls.
