December 22--a birthday party!

It was great being with the gang to help celebrate Terry's and Lisa's birthdays. As usual, the gathering was at Kim & Ida's--they are such great hosts. The gathering was even larger than usual since so many out-of-town family members were there for Dad's funeral. We celebrated a day early (actual birthday on the 23rd) while Jeannine's family was still here.
And, as usual, Mom looks pretty good! Hard to believe she is 90 years old!

One really fun thing was that Will, at which ever house he was visiting, built several snowmen. Maybe it is because in his home town of Las Vegas, snow doesn't happen that much. Too me, it didn't seem like there was enough snow, but somehow he managed. And the others liked to join in.
At Kim's house, there were a pair of snowmen at the corner of the yard to welcome visitors. It was always a happy sight as we drove into their driveway.
And then of course, Elley couldn't resist the photo op with a cool tree.
We enjoyed shopping with Jeannine--she and I ended up buying identical sweaters. Now I can think of her whenever I wear mine.
