Sharing some photos
Christmas cards this year were full of great photos, so I thought I'd share some of them here...
I scanned these as one unit, so I'll describe them below:
The bottom row has its own description - my great-nephew (Hazel's grandson) Erik and his family.
The first row is my great-niece, Danielle (Clara's granddaughter) and her family. From the left, Porter, who is six, and is a charming scamp, I hear. And Victoria, Danielle's husband's daughter, who lives with them now, and who is a wonderful kid, from all reports. Finally, that's Danielle and her husband, Jake.
Lovely families, eh?
Things are going well here. We're in our wait-and-see mode, for the latest round of test results, and the test he'll have on 1/27. He feels good, though, and thankfully, we've avoided the bronchitis epidemic that struck most of Hazel's crowd. We didn't go down on Christmas morning because I was afraid of ice, so we missed the generous sharing of these nasty germs! There are only a few of her kids and grandkids who DID NOT get that stuff. Poor Darla has bronchitis and a sinus infection and just can't seem to shake it. So it's wicked!
Jason and Tiana are in Minnesota, visiting with her family & friends, and freezing, according to J.
He has to keep reminding himself how much he loves his wife, as he hates the cold fiercely! We had a lovely Christmas, first with J & T on Christmas Eve, then with Joe &Amy the day after Christmas. It's been quiet with so many of the extended family ill, but quiet is not a bad thing!
I have been claying up a storm. Be sure to check out my Etsy shop as I add new stuff. Just ready to bake about 2 dozen pieces, most of them for Valentine's Day. I'm also working on a wedding cake topper for Amy's sister, who announced her engagement at Christmas. It's a new venture for me, and, quite frankly, I hope to use it in my "portfolio," for future commissions.
I hope to post a couple of more Christmas card photos in the next day or so. I have many!

Nice pics. When did Kael get his hair cut? He looks so boyish now.

They had it cut at a barber a week before his first b'day, in October - he ended up looking an Amish kid with a bowl cut. It really was bad. A few days before the party, Erik decided that since he cuts his own hair, he couldn't do any worse than the barber did. I love this haircut! He looks so much like Erik did at that age.
