This year, as for so many years, at Christmas Carla mounted a splendid dinner for as many of the family as could attend. This year was no different, but in fact this may have been the last such event. As many of you know, we plan to move shortly to New Mexico (likely Alamogordo), presumably to a smaller home (without the capacity for a throng - heh heh!).
I thought I would share with our friends here some scenes from the event. (The next wave will occur today, Boxing Day, when another branch of the family will come by.)
We'll start with Carla, not here in her role as host and chef:
Douglas A. Kerr: Bad girls get coal for Christmas, good girls get stones
These are blue topaz (ironically enough the state gemstone of Texas).
Next, Ethan, our youngest great-grandchild (just a little over one year old):
Douglas A. Kerr: Ethan - peek-a-boo
Here are Ethan's parents, Kat and Drew (Carla's grandson):
Douglas A. Kerr: Kat and Drew
Drew is going into the construction management field.
The two main women in Ethan's life (so far):
Douglas A. Kerr: Kat and Kelley
Ethan's mother, Kat (l) and his proud grandmother, Kelley (Drew's mother) (r)
Well, I have to get ready for today's wave. More later.
Best regards,
Doug
