I had purchased this tall, blue, very pretty bottle of wine 6 years ago.This year with our whole family together,
I decided it was the perfect time to open and enjoy for New Years Day!
This is our family. Our two lovely daughters and their husbands, our 6 beautiful grandchildren and Me and my husband.
A special treat on New Years Eve, King Crab Legs! The old year 2008 was brought to a end and the new year ushered in by our whole family attending church service together. What special joy and memories!
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation;
old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.
2 Corinthians 5:17
This is the Chicks! Our oldest daughter and husbands 5 children.What a joy to have them visit for a full week.
We enjoyed many fun moments. This is our youngest daughter opening her gift from her Grandparents, my mother and dad.
You can see the excitement in my oldest daughters face after opening her home made gift from her sister.
The newest member of our family, at 3 months old, this was her very first Christmas and we were blessed to spend so much time with her.
11 yr old Chick #1 opening her gift from us. She was very excited and well pleased.
Here is 9 yr old Chick #2

Here is 9 yr old Chick #2helping 3 yr old Chick #4 figure out all the fun features of his new
speed racer, A Battle Morph Mach 6! WOW.
Chick #5 received a Silver Rattle with Teething Ring
from us, her Nana and Papa.
She is just learning how to grab things,
hold them and take them to her mouth!
What a sweetheart and so much fun.
She also laughed out loud for the first time while they were here.
There is nothing like a baby's first laugh!
Papa and big sister show her the new dress from Nana and Papa. Its a 12 month size and we hope it will fit for Easter.
I think she liked the bright pink color!
Chick #2 showing off his gift from Nana and Papa. He couldn't wait to try it out with the new country western CD.
And here is our oldest grandson. He received a wood box, (treasure chest) with many cute little treasures that everyone was excited to see. Since it was a treasure box, he had to go on the hunt for the keys to unlock it! That is his dad at the left and mom sitting behind him.
BUT . . . of all the chicks and of all the gifts, I think this was the best.
YEP! SKETCHER SHOES!

When she had told me about them 2 months ago, I thought, "what a gift for a 6yr old little girl" so I ask, "but are you sure you wouldn't rather have a toy?" She replied, "NO!"
This chick #3 re-wrapped and reenacted opening her Sketchers no less then 10 times and each time she was just as happy and had just as big a smile as if it were the first time opening them.
They fit her perfect and you can tell she loves them very mush.
I don't think I could have chosen a better gift!
Christmas Day, before our family arrived, We had the great pleasure of spending the day
first at church and then with dear Friends.
This is the granddaughter of our friends. We had so much fun with her!
At 7 mo old she enjoyed snow for the first time. It was a real nice day and she loved the feel of the cold white stuff! What a cutie!

Her and her parents were here visiting from Ohio. I used to baby sit her mother when she was that age so it was really fun for us to get some visits in,
first at our house and then at her parents home.
At 7 mo old she enjoyed snow for the first time. It was a real nice day and she loved the feel of the cold white stuff! What a cutie!After spending a few hours at our close by friends, we traveled about 1 hour to the Northern Hills to spend a few more hours with other dear friends.
The couple front left are so very special to us. We have worked with them at the Pine Ridge Indian Mission for the last 8 years! They have 14 children but as you can see in the above photo, only 3 could be there on Christmas day. We had a very enjoyable time and also enjoyed the winter wonderland in the Black Hills.
Now this is our friends who I mentioned earlier, who's daughter I used to baby sit. They are very close to our family and this photo proves it as they squish chick #3. I doubt if she minded, just look at her smile! The family photos were taken by them and HE is the one who got everyone so worked up, excited and silly. We really did get some cute pictures, Thank You Jim!
