Something we used to do, but haven’t done in ages is have Uncle Arthur and Aunt Lynn over for New Years Day. We decided to change that in 2011. Their daughters Lois and Tracie came too with their families!

Lois gets aquainted with Miranda and RubÃ

Kenny has his eye on football.

Kenny tries to get Alex into trouble.

He shows Alex how to enjoy the pecan pie while Alex's wife isn't looking.
I am sure Alex was just being polite, it’s hard to tell mom no.

Jessie stole my heart!

Lois with Jessie and Joshua.

Aunt Lynn

Uncle Arthur silly with mom.

They should do this more often.

Brother and sister

Tracie chats with Connor

Alex and Tracie

Joshua wants to love on RubÃ

Crazy cousins, Miquel and Lauren
Great to see that some people are still using the holidays to catch up with family and friends.
Great pics, Barbara!
I am still reliving the happy day.
Your mother has always had the gift of hospitality. When she and Julian had the tiny one bedroom apartment it was often filled with fiends and lots of food. No one minded if it was a tad crowded: we just laughed and ate together!
How great to see uncle Arthur and aunt Lynn again.
Lots of love from Holland with best wishes for the New Year!
