Pop Pop and Aamee.
Jerry passed away the day after Thanksgiving but was with us
in his little box in the living room. Enjoying the evening.
Rick and Lisa (tator) were out of town visiting her dad.
We talked with Stacy and Aaron on the phone for an hour. We were able to see them in Asia and talk to them almost like they were in the room. The only thing is they didn't have smell a vision so they couldn't smell all the good food only see it. (groan they did when they saw all the good food) They were enjoying hot chocolate while talking with us and trying to get awake since it was very early where they were.
We had dinner after the telephone call and all were starved. We had a wonderful meal with great conversation. The chicken casserole (recipe compliments of my Aunt Norma) and the corn casserole(recipe compliment of Nancy Steppe) were a great success. The mashed potatoes, carrots/turnips, green bean casserole, brocolli casserole, mac and cheese and ham didn't go untouched either.
Since we ate so much for dinner no one ate dessert. We got out the plastic gas and everyone filled them with left overs to eat another day! Sarah and Jessica made some awesome looking cakes! Too bad we couldn't eat them.
We all sat down in the living room in front of the Christmas tree and fireplace and began the annual gift giving.

| You were with us for a while |
Jessica and Sarah enjoyed their stockings and even wore some of the items found in the stockings. Chris and Maria enjoyed their stockings. Chris was especially happy with his new jacket that he tried on and made sure it would fit.
All in all it was wonderful. The food, fireplace, Christmas tree, candles and the most wonderful part enjoying family and being thankful for what God has given us.
Hope you enjoyed the family pictures.
