Goodbye 2012 . . . Hello 2013

It has been quite a year, 2012.  Lots of things have happened.  Time sure flies. . . .I wish I could slow things down a bit.  My job will change huge in 2013.

My family has grown to almost double - 

 I have lost the 10 pounds that I have always wanted to get rid of.

That part was not easy . . that is for sure . . .

It is funny how life goes . . .things happen, you don't even expect . . . but I have to tell you . . . 

the things that have meant most to me are my FAMILY and FRIENDS . . .

They are what get you through it all!!!!

 

  

 

I LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH!!

THANKS FOR BEING SUCH A BIG PART OF MY LIFE!!

The Day After

Ellie with Grandpops . . . Life is GOOD,

Waiting for the Jul Nisse - Christmas Eve 2012

My Little Love of my Life

Look at more adorable granddaughter-Ellie. I met her at the airport and was totally taken back . . What an absolute doll.

Won't Be Long Now . . .

Christmas is 2 days away and we are going to have a full house.  I am so looking forward to it!!!

Timmy and Jessica, Kyle and Kristian, Tracy and cute Ellie will be here.  We have always celebrated Christmas Norwegian Style.  The Jul Nisse comes on Christmas Eve.

  


Then on Christmas Day we would go visit Grandma and Grandpa and see what Santa brought.
It was GREAT . . . . two big celebrations.

Will be fun . . . this year will bring a lot of Great Memories.
MERRY CHRISTMAS, GOD JUL AND have a WONDERFUL NEW YEAR!!

We have been waiting for some real action for a Long Long Time

Timmy and Jess are married!!!  YAHOO!!!  They make the best couple.

It was a very nice wedding and reception.  The day was perfect, the weather was beautiful, and the family and friends were FABULOUS!!!

Our family just got bigger.  The Bators are such nice people.

  I think we are going to have a lot of fun times ahead.

I HAVE A GRANDDAUGHTER!!!!

On September 6, little Ellie was born in Los Angeles, California.  She weighted 7 lbs 6.9 oz

What a wonderful day it was in my life!!!!  

My oldest son, Kristian and his cute wife Tracy had this adorable healthy little girl which was a wonderful addition to our family.

I LOVE BEING A GRANDMA!!!
