BEN'S BIRTHDAY


Since Ben's birthday is on inauguration day, January 20, he claims that the country is celebrating his birthday also. Whatever gets you through the ageing process.

Most of the family where at our house for a chili dinner, football, and cards.

Mother Daughter Day

The ladies of the family went together for the annual Mother Daughter Dinner.Three generations Patti, Shannon, and Hester.


The other ladies at the table, Shannon, Gandhi, Matti, and Jeri.

Each table had to have a theme and they had to do all the decorations themselves. (Definitely not a man thing.)

Christmas 2008

This year as usual, we had the family over for Christmas, with the exception of Javier who spent Christmas in Florida and Carlos and his family who spent Christmas in Dominican Republic with Zori's family.

We had two new children in the family this year, David (4) and Maria (18 months). Leland's (Patti's brother) new wife Gandhi is from Honduras.

Of course Patti and I did the grandparent thing and visited the kids on Christmas morning to see what Santa Clause had brought.

Ed and Hester, (Patti's mom and dad) were with us as well as Tracy, (April's dad)
Kris brought his friend Kendra, who was a Yellow Jacket fan among Gators and Bulldogs, thus the Yellow Jacket gift.
All in all it was a great day with family and friends. We pray that the coming year is as good to all as 2008 was.
