Papa & Mattie. Aren't they sweet? We had an entertaining evening watching Mattie make funny faces and being silly. 
 

I love you! Where's dad? Oh, he didn't want to get out of his chair. I don't blame him after all that turkey.  
 

What a cute family! We had a nice relaxing Thanksgiving with no stress or chaos. It was great! 
 

What a beautiful, fun family. I had a wonderful Thanksgiving this year. I love you guys. 
 

I love my nieces. Mattie loved my dip but Sophie wasn't too fond of it. I think she's picky like her mommy. 
 

Chillin out, relaxing and watching movie. I love it when they snuggle with me. 
 

How many people can we squeeze on this chair? 
 

Friends are good!

After no contact for a whole year I was wondering how my good friend Nikki was doing. I saw her a year ago on my way through Hood River and enjoyed spending an hour with her and meeting her 2nd daughter. She has two beautiful girls and I'm looking forward to seeing how much they've grown.

I lost contact with Nikki and every number and email I had for her was no good. She actually was trying to get ahold of me around the same time and ended up calling my old work # in Portland and ended up leaving a message on Bernie's voicemail. Anyway, a long story short, I was able to get her new number and reconnect. Nikki has moved to The Dalles and is doing well.

I am hoping to take a trip to The Dalles in December and spend sometime with her and my family. I am so grateful God brought you into my life Nikki. We have definatly been through the good, bad, and the ugly and still remain friends. I pray you are all well and have a wonderful Thanksgiving this year with your family. I look forward to seeing you soon! XOXOXO

My dear sister and friend
