Congratulations RYAN! Today is his 13th birthday. We celebrated with his family last evening. His Mimi fixed a great meal and he got some special gifts. The big surprise was his new cell phone.
I have had issues posting pictures on my blogs. I finally got it resolved so here are some pictures from our family Christmas last weekend.
The Gabehart kids have been with us this weekend. We met them in Frankfort yesterday and their parents will be coming to Wilmore this afternoon. Our plan is to have dinner and celebrate Ryan’s 13th birthday. His birth date is the 24th. Another teenager! Congratulations Ryan!
They have been well behaved and I have managed to maintain my dominance in chess. It is only a matter of time until someone dethrones me. The weather is getting pretty raw. Winds are up and the temperature is dropping. Florida is looking better every day.
I’m a little late but I wanted to share some of our family Christmas experience. Except for Clark’s family everone was able to be here. Chance brought his girl friend Kristen. We had a nice pizza dinner at the local Hot Stone Pizza restaurant. Afterwards, we went to the Crocketts house where there was all kinds of goodies. We opened presents. The grandkids had a really good time and no one seemed to be disappointed in their gifts. Actually they were very appreciative. We also exchanged “white elephant” gifts. Of course I got the electronic “whoopie cushion”. Then we engaged in the annual karaoke tradition. As has become the custom, Daniel was the star performer. Melissa is challenging his position but has a way to go.
Our day was made even more special since it was Blake’s 8th birthday.
Today is Blake’s 8th birthday. We got a start celebrating yesterday when we when to Blake’s school and had lunch with him. Tanya made cupcakes for his class and we sang happy birthday to Blake. Later that afternoon, Blake’s class had a special Christmas program. Blake had a speaking part and did a great job. He is a neat and funny kid. He lights up the room when he comes around.
He reminds me of Dash from the Incredibles. Blake is really fast.
We have more birthday celebration today. Happy Birthday BLAKE!
