Nick's first NFL game

We surprised Nick with tickets to see his favorite team, the Colts, play the Raven's. Though it was painful for us Raven's fans to endure, Nick was beaming ear to ear the whole time!!

The gang! Nic went to her first Ravens game. She was smiling from ear to ear. The gang had the welcome wagon goin on! Everyone was great. The crowd was crazy. The noise deafing. And above all the Ravens beat the Browns. Nic said the crew brought raw oysters and clams, ribs, wings, the whole nine yards! Man, me tummy was aching when she listed the menu. Nic was beaming after game. Many thanks to Karen and Lori and crew for making it a memoriable experience.

Thanksgiving with the family

Bro was doing the cutting this year. I have been relieved of this duty due to Bro's getting coo doo's on his cutting skilz at another gig. To all who are informed, he is doing very well. Our family and especially my bro thanks for all the continuing prayers he has received! Hope in the near future he will be singing Beyonce's "I am a survivor." Jimbo and me having a bonding photo (he's wondering who is this goof next to me...I'm trying to show some love). He just past the bar and getting his feet wet on being a neophyte lawyer. Congrats Jimbo! The photo of the wives and their beauty especially mine. Xan and Annika posing and Sidney keeping a watchful eye on her little brother.

Angel is set by Annika

Nic placing the final decorations on the tree. Ahhh! The smell of the tree is wonderful. Scratch on your monitor and you can smell it, too!

It was Annika's turn to place the angle on the tree. She patiently waited for hours to do her deed. Good God my head is huge...who blocked the sun out...oh it's Jerry!

Work you slaves! Earn your keep!!

The boys had to pay their food bill and a portion of their rent. I am still contributing but I don't know how long I can be so generous. Gig blew the leaves and Big C mulched the leaves. Don't worry I have temporary work permits for these workers and in January they go pack to China.

Heave Hoo! Heave Hoo! Come on you minions MOVE!

Mush you minions! Mush! We've got work to do! Lights to hang! Ornaments to hang! MUSH!

What a preety picture

Ahhhhhh! So cute. It was a great December weekend to cut a tree. The crisp cool air and wisps of hot chocolate filled the air.

Let a real man finish the job!

Gig pushed me aside and said "Dad your doing it wrong!" I feel so impotent. :(

Bic C and the saw

Big C taking his turn in cutting the tree down. Gigglas putting a watchful eye on Collins cutting technique.

Christmas tree cutting

The family performed our 8th annual christmas tree cutting at Cornerstone Plantation in Pa. I know pretty far to drive to get a tree but this family owned business have been very kind to us over the years.
