Merry Christmas Everyone

We are settled in after traveling to Springfield, MO where I grew up and where most of my family still lives.  We had our first get-together at my  sister Karen's last evening for a gift exchange with another sister that won't be able to be with us on Christmas Day.  We are going to have a get-together at my brother Jimmy's this evening and then all of us will be together again tomorrow at Karen's again for Christmas tomorrow.  There are seven of us and our spouses and my Mom.  Dad is still alive, but I don't know if he will be joining us or not.  Eight grandchildren.  The oldest grandchild, Chris, is 25 and he just got married to Sonja at Thanksgiving.  They have two basset hound babies.

This is just about the cutest picture I've ever seen.

This is Jebadiah Boone, my boy.  He's two years old.

This is Justice Marie.  We don't know exactly how old she is, but she is very wise.

This is Sophia Suzanne.  We don't know how old she is either but she is younger than Justice and older than Jebadiah.  She is a real kisser - she can't control her licker.   They are all with us as we travel for Christmas.  We don't board them unless is is urgent that we do so.
