We are so glad that everyone, except John and Dakin (who are in Enland), was able to attend. We enjoyed the time we spent at the park, kayaking at the lake, and all the good food. The fireworks were awesome and we look forward to the next reunion.<br />Don and Joycehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05840186368731786740noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3364535897748382241.post-8689741423416527792010-12-24T21:37:00.000-08:002010-12-24T21:39:35.696-08:00Christmas Eve 2010<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJ7aeLXiyFysWH-cjl1rdsE-F1iooDKH9dNkMx78Lb7GBmOCTA5_avMBT2GdMuFwnC91htQ0o-e4Ce_Th8cJdssI0Av3-eoS1sBNpi0y_MQZgEHeTjAwIWQzm8DM3sdKcp28dmWM1EsvQ/s1600/PICT0035.JPG"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJ7aeLXiyFysWH-cjl1rdsE-F1iooDKH9dNkMx78Lb7GBmOCTA5_avMBT2GdMuFwnC91htQ0o-e4Ce_Th8cJdssI0Av3-eoS1sBNpi0y_MQZgEHeTjAwIWQzm8DM3sdKcp28dmWM1EsvQ/s320/PICT0035.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5554490307011844226" border="0" /></a><br />Katy, Mia, Sam and Nate portray the Christmas Story.Don and Joycehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05840186368731786740noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3364535897748382241.post-993250077916483242010-12-23T20:50:00.001-08:002010-12-23T23:46:21.027-08:00Maddy's Blessing--Nov. 28, 2010<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKCWMxNKFnhOsOAyAX9sB2FBwUDPicXdqJGAxpeu4-_YWwK4AwaOi2hP4Nd2gU5iOnMnhvRNe-1wVfPNsBec9G5yFtf3WWdorio-1PsLzEnt_ZlX5BwD_Zg-0L6EQnKupQUVnbXR4h2sI/s1600/DSCN0509.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKCWMxNKFnhOsOAyAX9sB2FBwUDPicXdqJGAxpeu4-_YWwK4AwaOi2hP4Nd2gU5iOnMnhvRNe-1wVfPNsBec9G5yFtf3WWdorio-1PsLzEnt_ZlX5BwD_Zg-0L6EQnKupQUVnbXR4h2sI/s320/DSCN0509.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5554106828898032018" border="0" /></a><br />Joyce and Don with Maddy the day she was blessed.Don and Joycehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05840186368731786740noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3364535897748382241.post-49116036717041903762010-12-23T20:48:00.001-08:002010-12-24T00:02:10.049-08:00Katy & Dexter--Mt.

I have been spending a lot of my spare time recently doing research on my ancestors on Ancestry.com, as a result I neglected the activities of my own family!<br /><br />It was great to see pictures of Easter Sunday and birthday parties, trips to the zoo, family visits and even pictures of our old house...except it didn't look like the old house inside.
