Ok so the story of the Dog is Brayton kept threatening there would be a dog in the front Yard for Christmas Morning for Charles and sure enough there was this little cute singing one...
Brayton got this beautiful Blanky of Frosty from Gillian....
It has been a wonderful year overall. We started the year out with our favorite football team the New Orleans Saints winning the Super bowl in January. What an awesome game it was. Also in January we went to Arizona to celebrate Nicole’s 18th birthday. She is such a wonderful young lady. In February we went back to Arizona and had a fun Valentine’s Day Weekend with the family. In April Charles who dared to doubt the Saints lost a bet with me and had to get his first Tattoo. Which of course he now loves and wants more. In June we had fun tubing and camping the Colorado River then we spent father’s day weekend at New Port Beach with the Peterson family. Then yes another trip to Arizona because Nicole graduated from High School it was a wonderful weekend. It has been quite the year for her, turning 18, graduating and then in August off to UOA for her freshman year. In July we took a wonderful fun family vacation with the Curet’s to Chicago. I LOVED THIS CITY. It was like a mini Manhattan and so many wonderful things to see and do. In August we were blessed to celebrate my dad’s 84th birthday and in November my mom’s 80th. My sister’s and I are so lucky to have out parents and they are in great health and always there for us. In the fall Rob played tackle football for the first time and LOVED it. Then we had a wonderful Thanksgiving in Arizona at Marylise’s house and Judy Brayton’s mom came to Arizona to spend it with us which was so nice. And of course we did the late night or early morning depending how you look at it Black Friday Shopping. Now December seemed to have come and gone by so very quickly. Rob turned 13 and is now a teenager but still the most loving happy child ok young man. Charles completed his Bachelor’s Degree this month and we are all so very proud of him, he worked hard and finished it in three years. I I continue to work on my Master’s in Nursing and thank goodness will finally be done this March. Gillian and Brayton well as for them let’s just say they made the Holidays quite eventful (MORE TO COME IN 2011). We had a wonderful Christmas which we shared with friends that we truly consider our Cali Families, Mary, Steve and Gina and then Mario, Mary and their boys. Then we went to Arizona for a second Christmas and enjoyed New Years with the family. Pictures are here for some of the Holiday fun.
So to all my friends and family who share this blog with me I wish you a very Happy New Year and look forward to sharing many, many more special moments with all of you.
