Family Get Together....

Ok I thought that I would post a few pictures of our wonderful get together tonight at Vycki's house. Everyone came Aunt Alice, Bobby and Linda and Tiffany, Kathleen, Barbara and Beverly Briana and I along with mom and of course Vycki and the children... (aka the Kids) lol.... The food was wonderful from Mom's pot roast to Kathleen's stuffed cabbage to Vycki's Kielbasa and not to mention the famous flaky pastries.... CAN WE ALL SAY YUMMY.... Yep you had to roll me out of the house and into the car....

It really was very nice to see everyone once again... We really do have to make it a habbit to see them at least twice a year... :)

I wish we could have been with my entire family that would have made it even more special...

Anna and her Raindeer Friend

How cute is Anna...... she is really turning into a beautiful young lady Karen....

Here is the posting if you haven't really found it....

1:14 PM UPDATE: Dasher the reindeer is at Capers. So if you’re going to The Junction, stop in there as well as getting your Santa photo at Cupcake Royale (till 3:30, and as mentioned in morning coverage, Santa is at Westwood Village till 4 pm):

Snowing like CRAZY again - just in time for the football game on TV, of course, so Seattle looks more like Green Bay … fitting for Coach Holmgren’s last game. Meantime - DL Byron from BikeHugger reports phone trouble on 56th SW, getting “all circuits are busy.” We will check with Qwest’s media unit about trouble.

Christmas Morning

We have proof that Santa exists! Check out the ashy footprint he left next to the fireplace.

Here's a picture of Cooper when he thought Santa only brought him a few things....and then his picture when he found his big present parked in the garage. HAHAHAHA

And here is a picture of the girls on their new inline skates. I spent all day yesterday and today putting on and taking off pads and skates. Darn that Santa!

HO HO HO and greetings from snowy white Montan....er i mean Washington! 2-3 more inches today so we have 14 on the ground and it has been snowing off and on for two weeks around here. i have said this a lot lately with the weather, but i have never seen such a long period of cold and snow around here in my 30 yrs here. oh well, its starting to melt tonight somewhat and should continue. a couple snow pictures and a few of ethan opening presents.

SNOWBOUND IN SEATTLE

Seattle looks beautiful, So does Green Lake, Not sure about the guy with the chains... lol But seeing this other guy snow board over a couch is pretty funny...

So it looks like you guys got just a little bit of snow in the great north west which closed down Seattle... lol

Oh how I remember being about 6 month pregnant when Seattle was hit with a big snow storm and I was at work at Fred Meyers on Capital Hill. I just remember having to walk from Broadway all the way down to Pioneer square with no boots or pants. I was a frozen Popsicle when I reached my friends house. I was stuck there for almost 3 days...

Santa came to our house today

We had a visit from Santa today. He came on a firetruck and delivered our Christmas tree to our house! What a guy! You would think he would be too busy this time of year, but no....he took the time, along with one of his fireman friends, to bring us our tree.

How cool is that? I must have been really good this year..............

Turkey Day 2008

Hi All,

I was in NJ before Thanksgiving holiday and Mom, Maria, Briana, Vycki and the kids celebrated early. Mmmmmmmm look what we had - and it was the best pie ever. Mom gets better and better every time.
