THANK YOU!


THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE FANS
KRISTIN AND JEREMY!
We LOVE them, and so
to show you that we do,
we decided to pose with them. ^_^
Mom thought herself very coquettish in this picture.

WE LOVE BUNCHES, AND THANKS AGAIN!

CHRISTMAS CARDS!



In case any of you were curious about what everyone
did for Grandpa and Grandma for their christmas cards,
i took pictures of them, all proudly sticking to their refrigerator. ^_^
The six at the top, spelling out Merry Christmas, were done by the Leibbrands. ^_^



these two were done by Brendan and Tiffany


these were done by a Bowman and two Knapps

these three by the Lyons


those two are by Aunt Joanne and Ian ^_^



Kevin and Tania



the Lopez clan

and those two kids in Japan ^_^


ALL TOGETHER NOW!

A FLORIDA VACATION!

We three arrived at Florida the day after Christmas.
Aunt Janice, Uncle George and Jeanne were already at
Grandpa's and Grandma's house. We sat and
talked a bit before going to bed.

DAY 1

The next morning we all went to The Sugar Mill, that pancake place. After all, it is tradition. We ended up waiting about two and a half hours to get in though. We showed GREAT patience that day. ^_^

Grandma waiting with a smile.

A short video of Grandma and Aunt Janice singing
some song about birds in the wilderness waiting to
be fed. The volume is pretty low, sorry.
Waiting

Waiting by the cool spring


FINALLY, FOOD! HAZAR!


Look how happy Grandma is! ^_^


We tried to hitch a ride. Yes, that would be Grandma's leg sticking out.


and it worked!
We went back to Grandma's and Grandpa's house and sat and talked,
and also watch a part of the Lyons's Church Christmas program.
The Lyons left in the early evening to go visit Uncle George's mom.

DAY 2
It was Sunday, so we went to Church and Sunday School, and came back home for lunch. At 2:00, Grandma, mom, and i went to the nursing home. An older gentlemen gives a sermon every Sunday to those of the residents at the nursing home who choose to go. And another older gentlemen leads worship where Grandma plays the piano for. Grandma does this every other Sunday, switching off with another lady. ^_^

Grandma driving us to the nursing home.
When we got back, we stayed at home, mom made some fruit cake.
Went to Sunday night church, ate at Arby's for supper,
and went to the grocery store to pick up some items.

DAY 3
We went to the skydiving place, hoping to see someone skydiving.
but we didn't see anyone.
Grandma's wearing mom's sunglasses because she
had her eyes dilated earlier at an appointment.


Afterwards we headed for the beach.





Grandpa sat by the van while we played in the sand. ^_^
After that we went to Bob Evans for Grandma's birthday dinner.
Then went home for birthday cake. ^_^


We had a great time seeing both of them, but who wouldn't? ^_^
I LOVE YOU ALL!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!

A KNAPPY, LOPEZ, LEIBBRAND, SULLIVAN, AND A BOWMAN CHRISTAMS!

It all began at the Knapp house,
Rich was there

and i myself in an extremely swanky outrageously fun hat.


and surrounded by my hoard. Later on the
three of us headed over to the Lopez house.



Where they were having a breakfast feast.
Aunt joyce, Aunt Ana, and Katrina. Behind Katrina you
can see Uncle Jim's head.

so fine in his pj's and manly tiger slippers.
(oh, and that's Jame's head on Tom's shoulder,
sadly the only picture i have of him)

adorable Justin ^_^


Jana and Aunt Ana looking so lovely ^_^


um, i don't know about this, but i'm
pretty sure it was fun, if not
interesting, whatever went on. ^_^

Then about six hours later, we arrived at The Sullivan abode.
To see my sweet brother (in-law) and beautiful sister.

Brendan opening his gifts from us
