Cousin's visit Las Vegas

Fred, Karen & Maureen came out in March to see Cher at Caesar's, so we go to spend some time with them while they were here. One day I took them out to Red Rock Canyon and then to the house for dinner, this is a great picture of the 3 of them at Red Rock.

Snow in Las Vegas

December 18th, 2008. Mt. Charleston from the golf course behind our house. There is usually snow on the top of the mountain, but not in the foothills as you see here.

These are the Sheep Mountains, north of our house. They very rarely get snow on them, but on December 17, 2008, this was not the case.

Early Christmas in Minnesota

So we got together at Sue & Bob's on Saturday AM for Brunch, and took this family photo, this maybe the one we sent out in our Christmas cards



Sunday Morning, we get up and open presents, just like Christmas Day, only a couple of weeks early. And of course of all the neat presents Alice Mae received, she had the most fun playing in the empty cardboard boxes.

A great Christmas Present

We flew from Las Vegas to Duluth, landed on time, brother Jim picked us up, we stopped for lunch and then headed to Minneapolis. We arrived at the duplex that Carrie, Lonny and Jaime bought to find Carrie the only one home from work. We spent some time with Carrie, then Jaime got home from work and went to pick up Alice. When Alice arrived home, she was very stand-offish, acting shy etc. Anyway, when Lonny got home from work, he said give me a few minutes and I will come and get you guys. He did and Alice had changed cloths, this was the T-shirt she had changed into. It reads "I'm going to be a big sister." What great news! Come to find out, Alice had been coached not to tell us the secret so that is why she was acting shy, shs didn't want to spill the beans. We are very happy for Jaime, Lonny and Alice and of course Auntie Carrie too. The big event is scheduled for early July, so guess where Grandma & Grandpa will be in July.
