MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL

David, Steve and our Granddaughter Allison















Carol's Mom

















It has been a wonderful Christmas for us. We were very fortunate this year to be able to spend so much time with family. We are still in Sacramento so we have been able to spend some quality time with everyone.




Christmas Eve we went to David's Sister's. Mary and Steve have a very nice home in Folsom. Of course it was raining. Our Granddaughter, Allison went with us. Mary had invited family and friends for food and drink and so we ate and drank. David's nephews all came by with their families. He has not seen them in about 20 years so it was very special to him. As you can see by the pictures, David is the runt of the family. They have all grown up to be such nice men, have very nice and pretty wives and children. It was really the highlight of this Christmas for David and I think for his Sister also. All of this family rarely sees each other so it was very special. Thank you to Mary and Steve for having us and for making this time of year what it was meant to be.




On Christmas day we went to Carol's Mom's house where another special gathering was underway. Carol's Sister, Lenette and Husband Todd were here from Missouri and they brought Carol's Great Nephew, Kirk from Kansas with them. Our Daughter Michelle and her family were there and Carol's Nephew Eric, his Wife Christina and their little girl were there. Not only was it a great day for us but it was a wonderful time for Carol's Mom who had not seen her Great Grandson for about 7 years. Of course we ate and drank again. It was good for Carol's Mom to have 2 of her children and spouses, 2 grandchildren and spouses and 5 Great Grandchildren.




We have been able to do alot of things while we have been in Sacramento. Carol has been able to spend some time alone with Michelle and enjoyed every minute of it.




We will be here until Jan. 6th when we will be leaving and going to Red Bluff, CA. We took the job there at an RV Resort and will be there for at least 3 months. It is only 2 hours away from Sacramento, close to Shasta and MT Lassen and only 6 hours from Carol's Brother, Charlie and 6 hours from Paso Robles.




We hope everyone has had a great Holiday and pray for all to have a wonderful New Year.
With Love, David and Carol
Happy Campers
