Happy New Year!

 My goal this year is to keep up my blog a little better then in years past.  Since I have not taken many pictures in 2013 yet, I will post some pictures of Christmas 2012.

We had a great Christmas, even if I had to work on Christmas day.  I have been a nurse for 26 years and this is the first Christmas day I have had to work.  We moved our celebration up one day and had a great one!

This is my Wendall August ornament tree in the living room.  The girls helped me to decorate it.

 Each year, the kids get a new ornament.  I try to get an ornament that relates to something the kids did that year.  Kailas ornament was from her sorority that she joined this year, Kamma, Sigma, Sigma.









Roxy always likes to sit on things, paper, clothes, etc.  I guess she is just to pretty to sit on the floor!

Kellis ornament had her name on it spelled the right way!  It is hard to find any of the kids names spelled correctly!

 Since Eddie did the Jr. ROTC Marine program at school this year, his ornament was the Marine symbol, Semper Fi!

 The finished tree!  The kids did a great job decorating it!

 Ethel is always in the Christmas spirit...NOT!  She hates this hat, but the kids always put it on her!

 Eddie cooked the Christmas Eve steaks and did a great job!

 My three kids, Kelli, Kaila and Eddie!

 Kaila and her new penguin blanket.  The penguin is the mascot of her sorority.

 Kelli and Christmas morning with her IPOD speaker.

 Eddie and his Marines sweatshirt.
