Day Three Hundred Sixty One

There's Always A Stray. Or Two.

I was sure I had Christmas all tucked away in the attic today. But it just never fails. No matter how many times I scour the house to make sure I got them all, I always find a stray decoration. Or two, in this case. They were under the couch where Eddie Kitty had most likely chased them. That's it, that's all of them. I'm sure of it....

Day Three Hundred Sixty

Rockin' With The Beatles Rock Band

I wish I had brought my camera with me to my sister Jane's house this afternoon. Jane, her daughters Sarah and Julia, my daughter Kelly and son in law Kerry played The Beatles Rock Band. I snapped some pictures with my cell phone. They're kind of grainy, but you get the idea.

Kerry's on guitar, Sarah belts out a Beatles tune, and Julia pounds out the beat on the drums.

Kelly plays drums, with Kerry on guitar, and Sarah and Julia sing.

My sister Jane got in on the drumming action while Julia sang, and I think Kelly was on guitar.

Kerry, Sarah, Julia, and Jane jammin' with The Beatles. Neil and I just watched. Maybe we'll try it next time. We had fun just watching them play and listening to The Beatles tunes. 'Hey, Bulldog' turned out to be the tune they had the most fun with. They were all really good on each instrument and singing the songs and made high scores most of the time. It was a fun afternoon that turned into a fun evening. And thanks again for the delicious beef stew for supper! That was an unexpected treat. Good times, great oldies for sure!

Day Three Hundred Fifty Nine

Merry Christmas!

Here's our Mom surrounded by her kids, grand kids, and great grand kids at our annual family Christmas at sister Ann and brother in law Terry Sissom's home. We enjoyed a delicious turkey and ham dinner with loads of tasty casseroles and yummy desserts. The kids opened their gifts and the adults played a fierce game of Dirty Santa. The Beatles Trivial Pursuit was the hot sought after gift, exchanging hands countless times. We ended the evening playing that game which was fun but a lot harder than we thought it would be. Ann and Terry always make everything festive and just right and we always have a great time celebrating our family Christmas there. Thanks again, Ann and Terry, for hosting another great get together! We are all so thankful to be so richly blessed not only with things but with family. We look forward to doing it all over again next year. Missing those who couldn't be with us! Sleep in Heavenly Peace, Dad and Rob! I love you all, and to all a good night!
