Family Christmas & Grandma's 85th Celebration

 Reta Mae Toman is turning 85!!!
Making sandwiches with my Aunts, Sisters, and cousin - special time! Reminded me of the Windmill - how I miss it!
 Finished product - my Aunt made all these really neat tags

 One of my close cousins (Samantha) with little Gideon 
 All of Grandma's grandchildren made it in to this picture except one - actually amazing!
 My family
 Some of my great-uncles and aunts
 Grandma's two sisters
And yes... we managed to find some time for the rink! First time this year...

I think so often I took/take my extended family for granted - I am so blessed to have the Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, etc that I have.

(Parts of) Family Day

Family Day was different this year then others - it had become an annual tradition to go hiking, however due to some conflicting plans it didn't work out this year! Some went here, others there, yet we were all together for dinner!  I took Faith and the two youngest boys swimming - there was hardly anyone there, the boys so enjoyed it!  Game time  Music Time  Grandma wanted help cutting out her runner...  At 10pm I got inspired to do a cake - I had a gracious helper:) My Dad's project for the day! It's so nice - getting all these projects done around here!

Sunday Afternoon

 One Sunday afternoon I brought these adorables back to the farm for some fishing! It's all I could do to get them to stop!                                     Hudson wanted to keep catching them, didn't think that it mattered if we couldn't eat them all!
