Well, here we are at the end of another year and I must say, I'm still trying to wrap my mind around the fact that today is Christmas Day.  We've been very blessed this year and are so thankful for good health and much love from family and friends.  Here's some of the highlights of our year:

Enjoys reading and hanging out with family as time allows.
Still and always will route for The University of Michigan despite my husband's disloyalty.....LOL


Family:  
  
Sarah and I took two solo trips to Indianapolis back in the spring.  Jim had to work.  :-(            
Several trips Up North to Hale to visit Jim's family including 4th of July parade and fireworks. My sister accompanied us on this trip as well.
We adopted a new kitten, Pig, in May.
Desperately miss routing for our Detroit Red Wings since there has been no hockey.



We want to wish each of you a very Merry Christmas and the most joyous of New Years.  May the peace and light that radiates from the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ, be in our hearts and lives always.

All our love!!!!!!
