'Wonderful'
-Gary Go

I know I had something to blog about but now that I am sitting here and actually have "free" time (what is that for me anymore right?) I have blog-stump-itis. I can tell you that my now 13 year old brother is a hoot and finally developing his quick whit that this family has. Yesterday mother asked us what our favorite Christmas memories were and had us each tell them. There were some special memories shared and I knew someone had to give a 'hoot of a memory.' He told us that last year was his favorite one. When mom asked why he simply looked at her and said, and I quote word for word... "because last year you were trying to get a boyfriend." BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. It is true to a point. My mom was sort of seeing this guy from back in Reno, but she sure as heck wasn't TRYING to get one. LOL. Later as we were opening gifts I was setting up the camera and positioning everyone so that I could get everyone in the shots. As I was doing so my brother exclaimed when questioned to what he was doing, "I have to adjust my crack!" I'll tell you what, I about busted my face from laughing. Oh it was a great way to start gift un-wrapping. We managed to have a wrapping paper war mid through. I managed to get stuck behind the tree and from the angle seen in the photo it would appear I am birthing my brothers head.








My brother David and his new family could not be here as they live in northern Nevada but my sister who has gone distant from the family this year did come over. She even managed to go join us in the family tradition of seeing a movie. This year we went and saw the new Sarah Jessica Parker film... Which by the way was VERY funny.

But let us not forget the Christmas tradition that we kids make breakfast for my mother in the morning. We stuck with the stratta we tried out last year. It reminds me of a quiche but A WHOLE LOT better...


I hope everyone had a CHRISTMAS TO REMEMBER!
