Christmas Day

We were invited to Mike & Dechelle's house again. It was a great time.

Lots of good food and desserts.

Most of the gifts were not so good but it's always fun. 

Thanks again to Mike & Dechelle for a great time!

Then we had to swing by Kevin's house for a few minutes.

Then when we get home a neighbor, Kim, brought us a wonderful plate of goodies. Just what I needed!

December 20th get together

We all got together today and ate and exchanged gifts.

Carol always wants to have all our favorite foods to eat. Vivianos' salami and cheese for Kevin, Spicy bratwurst and mac & cheese for Craig and I had Imo's pizza. I did get jalapeno bratwurst for Cassie. Carol didn't get anything special for herself.

Of course the usual playing with Capone.

We all got great gifts too.

We got the best gifts.

As always when we get together we have a good time, looking forward to the next time.

Visiting friends

We made a couple of short trips to visit friends.
First trip was to Bonne Terre to visit with Randy & Linda.
We hadn't seen their new room they added to the deck which overlooks the lake. 
They have a beautiful home and we had a nice time.  Then we went to a great place to eat, Lady Di's Shamrock. Also got to check out their new camper.

Then we went to Jefferson City to visit Jerry & Fran. We had a good visit and then we went downtown to the Ecco bar for a great lunch. They have a nice home too, complete with a Corvette in the garage.
