Family Get Togethers

Cutest lil' reindeer you'll see this side of the Pecos! (No, they don't really live in Texas!) Shayla is enthusiastically hugging Dallin, because she loves him so!
This photo is under consideration for our Christmas card for next December! Most favorite daughter-in-law, Tara, really got into the reindeer look during my visit up north when I went to work on our rental. I gave them little gifts everyday, trying on the Chanukah theme, and it was really fun. Don't you think her photo would make a great card?!!!
Mom really enjoys brother Cass's trips down from Redding, CA. We were happy to have him join us all for breakfast over the weekend, and hopes he'll be here in February!
We were so excited to visit with Roger, our Honduran foster son, who moved onto adulthood last year. He's living with Honduran friends, has a job, and plays soccer on a league! Life is good! We're proud of him!
Ginger, our other doggy "Sissy of the Sidewalks", Mushroom, niece Sandra, fiance Juan, and his family joined us on "a dark, dark night" to enjoy the holiday lights in Naples, a rather exclusive neighborhood close to the beach. It was beautiful, and there were quartets of classical musicians and various bands playing sacred music along the waterways. Beautiful! (One of the freebies of living here!)
Jiho, Bonnie, Jessica and nephew Brett enjoying a cool fall day at El Dorado Park. We're so glad Jessica and Brett brought little Olivia to visit for the first time!
We live really close to El Dorado Park, a regional location, which draws lots of families on the weekends. Son-in-law, Jiho, and Granddaughter Isis are walking Sugar, "Sissy of the Sidewalks." (We love him, though.)
Raymond, Daile and Sue showed up ready for the party! Note the masks...were they here to give the presents, or take 'em?!! Always full of surprises!
Sun Hong, and Wonder Dog, Ricky, had a great time, eating, visiting, and playing with the kids!
Great Grandma Eda, Winnie and John ate like little piggies. We love having them over!
Prettiest Granddaughter, Isis, turned 2 years old in November! She had a large party, with a large cake, in the front yard with family and friends, and blew out her candle too!
