Glady's Christmas Tree Adventure

I talked to Gladys last night.
We were exchanging photo's.
What a contrast in our weekend last week.
She could use a little of our Florida sunshine
like we had for family picture day.

She, Larry and Nicole went out to chop down a Christmas tree. Larry sank 2 feet in the snow so Gladys and Nichole took over. I couldn't help it. I have little cartoon images running in my mind of Larry stuck in the snow.

December Events

Where to begin. What a month! We had a mini-family reunion in Florida. Celeste and her daughters arrived on Saturday, Dec 1st. (Jonathan was unable to attend due to residency requirements) Talk about a fun, busy time! We had campout for the kids at Joe & Dariela's where the children dug into Aunt Shaunna's birthday cake with her. All Shaunna style. Grab a spoon kids and let's share my ice cream cake. We had a full day at the Magic Kingdom one Saturday and met for lunch at Joe and Dariela's the following Sunday. The children LOVED seeing each other again. We also had a family sleepover at our home on a Saturday evening, attended Sacrament together the following day where we almost made it through the meeting (as a family) with kids who were SO HAPPY to see each other they were bouncing off the chairs. Yes, I mean that literally. :) Afterwards we took family pictures and had an afternoon lunch. We all greatly missed John, Kristen and Dylan who are vacationing in Hawaii. Now...is that an excuse to miss family insanity or what. haha! Of course we would love to be there too! See their blog here: www.myspace.com/johnkristen
Tony and Sharon Lagana took family pictures for us at the Sunday gathering and I just picked them up. I'll post them soon so you can SEE our little treasures. I adore watching them interact and think the love they share for their cousins is precious.
