Thanksgiving.

We had a great Thanksgiving lunch with family and friends. Christy, Daniel and Hannah, Grandpa and Grandma, Roger, Jayme, Jonathan, Allyssa, Kari, Allyssa's beau - Graham, Jonathan's fiance - Mindy, her mom and dad (Debbie and Will), Randall, Emily and Isaac, The Simmermans; David, LeAnn, Alex, Olivia, Joshua and Lucas, and The Beerleys; Jay, Christi and Andrew all joined Grani and Papa for lunch. Lunch was fixed by Cracker Barrell. I somehow missed Andrew Beerley in the picture taking.

We had a wonderful time palying games and watching football all day.

I just saw how long it has been since I have put anything on my blog.

Here are a couple of pictures from Grani's trip to OKC in October.

I'm adding a new link to my new on-line store. I have stained-glass windows for sale and will soon have some paintings on line. www.bearhollowcreations.etsy.com

On the Way to the Mall

We were on the way to the mall and stopped off at Neeley's BBQ.

 

 

Petting Zoo

It's always fun to pet and brush the goats and llamas and camels. 

ZOO DAY!

We went to the zoo Wednesday. Everyone had a wonderful time. They had a cool buggy that could hold three grandkids.


 

The Cave

When we go to the zoo we always take pictures of the cave with the window you can look out of. 

There is much to blog about. We are staying very busy and having a non-stop adventure with Gibson, Haven, Hannah, Christy and Daniel spending the week with us. Tonight I'll just put up some pictures of the day the adventure began. Here we are traveling. Gibson is checking the map to see how far we have left to drive. the up close pictures below were taken at Oma's house. I'll post more pictures tomorrow... maybe.

 

Hannah wants to walk!


Christy mentioned that she may just skip crawling and go straight to walking. I think she may be right. Here she is walking at Grani and Papa's house. 

Hannah Visits Grani and Papa


Hannah came to visit last week. We looked at the creek up close, picked up some books out of her mailbox, and played with lots of fun toys. 

Jammin' in the Garage in OKC

Here are a couple of videos of Andrew, Gibson and Haven singin', playin' guitars and dancin'. Looks like a lot of fun!

Papa and the Grandbabies

Haven said, "where's Papa?" so I thought she might like to see some pictures of Papa. 

The Middle Child

Grani pointed out that the middle child never gets her own time. The poor middle child always has the older child in her pictures ('cause he's always been there) and then is overshadowed by the new cousin and the new brother.

So this is Papa's tribute to this lovely - and very photogenic - middle grandbaby who is so beautiful and full of fun and life and - by the way - is the only grandchild who will talk on the phone to Papa. Yeah Haven. I love you!
 

All the Grandbabies!






You can see some of these pictures and other great new pictures on Haley and Christy's blogs. Use the links to get there. 

WHITE CHRISTMAS

I was posting posting on my choir's blog - getting them ready for Christmas - and I ran across these pictures of Papa and Gibson. We had a "White Christmas" in 2003. It was gorgeous. You can see more pictures of it if you click on the Inchoirer link.

Four Mailboxes in Papa's Backyard! 

Hannah and Grani












Hannah and her mom and dad are here for a visit. Hannah was having a great time with Grani and decided that her toes were great for teething. 

Everyone wants to hold the baby!

All for One and One for All!


We had a hands picture earlier. We had to do another one since there is one more now. Can you tell who each hand belongs to? 

Cousins!
