Christmas at Grandpa and Grandma's house - Part 2

We had the Barclay's over for Christmas Eve dinner. It was so much fun to have them. Reecy and Eric and Blake were at the Allen's and the Barclay's and us were the only other ones left. We had a great time feasting. We even used the real china and crystal. (Not so many dishes with only 10 of us!)

Christmas at Grandpa and Grandma's house - Part 1

This was the night of the nativity. It was great fun. We also did the 'white elephant' gift exchange after this. We did one for the kids and then one for the adults. That was lots of fun too. We missed all the rest of you. Love you all.

Lots of snow . . . still not as much as Honey and Ryan!!

These are from some of our early snowfalls. I was talking to Brackon and telling him how much snow we had so he suggested taking pictures and posting them. They are just a little late. It is still very cold here. Definitely the coldest winter we have had here - but not as cold as Canada. I think my blood has thinned out. I have become a whimp! and the ground is still covered.

We had a beautiful pink sunset the other night but I was about 3 minutes too late with the camera.

Grandma and Grandpa Lowry Christmas 2006

Here are Grandma and Grandpa as you would have seen them if you had been able to come to Canada with us on Boxing Day - Dec 26th. Grandpa is ever the wonderful host and is making his yummy pancakes for us for breakfast. Grandpa is a great cook. And Grandma was right down the whole time we were there. She had very painful gout in her foot. It lasted for weeks. While we were there we were able to make arrangements for her to get some "Aids for Daily Living" that sure make it alot easier for her to get around. She is loving her new walker now. She does have terrible pain in her back that has been just awful for her. Kept her awake all night one night. Grandpa is having cataract surgery in Feb. I told him we would remember him in our Feb. fast. Both of them. Thanks for all your prayers in their behalf. They sure do love all of you and so do we.
