Pictures from the 50th dinner

On December 17 my mom and dad celebrated 50 years of wedded bliss! So, we got together to eat and make merry!!

Here we are the 7 of us with the happy couple. This is the first time in years we have all been together.

These are the grandkids that were present. And two great grandkids!

This is the whole gang.

And how we really are!! Thanks to all for coming and those who had to travel and for the great food and to mom and dad for starting it all!! Millie

Happy New Year!!!

I have not been blogging since Christmas because we are all sick here!! Three of us have strep throat, one has an ear infection and one is recovering from the head cold thing that the rest of us had earlier in the week and one is just starting the head cold thing. Only Sam has come through so far with out a sickness and is trying not to breathe our air!! So we are all home for New Year's Eve and trying to find things to eat that don't hurt going down!! But on the bright side this is the first NYE we have all spent together since the kids started going to dances!! Yay!! Millie

We had a bit of a wind storm last weekend. And things got thrown around a bit. Especially on my porch.

Even the nativity did not go unscathed. Only a sheep and the camel were left standing.

So this is a before picture.

And this is before.

And this is after.

Before.
After.
It even moved the trampoline up next to the house!! Fortunately it has settled down some what. I still have to leave my santas and sleds laying down because they keep getting blown down! Millie

Ginger bread houses!

So last night we gathered for the annual Henrikson gingerbread house making. Stu joined us!

Luke with his creation. Not sure what it is but it fits Luke!

Isaac and his apartment house.

David and his.....house.

Hannah goes for simple and sweet.

Sam's is always the house we look at for ideas and wonder why I didn't think of that.

Stu with his original design....

Yes it is an outhouse complete with a hole in the seat, a roll of toilet paper and well....ya that too.
