Brenna's Tasty Treats

Brenna brought this yummy appetizer to our Fourth of July gathering back in 2004. She enjoys trying recipes from the Pillsbury Bake-Off or any cookbook that has pictures! She likes to know what it's suppose to look like, that is an absolute must! These were quite a tasty dish! I must get the recipe for myself!

Chilling with My Babies!

Here I am with my grandbabies, December 2008. I truly enjoy and miss cuddling with all three of them. I love having them all get into our bed and just hanging out, watching the Disney Channel and just being close. I am looking forward to having all three of them with me this coming summer. I need a major booster shot of Grandchildren.

Heather 1975

Where did the time go? It seems that it was only yesterday that my baby Heather was a baby! We were living in Virginia when this photo was taken back in 1975. She was such a good baby and is still such a fantastic daughter.

We Wish You Merry Christmas 2009

This is the final page from Christmas Eve 2009. It's great to have family and friends come together and enjoy this special holiday season. Everyone is welcome at either of our homes. The more the merrier! Now, I will have to start working on the other Christmas Past photos before Christmas 2010 comes along. Let's see, I believe I have at least 30 years of Christmas photos! Yikes~

Girl Friend Weekend 2008

I just heard that one of my dear co-workers will be retiring. It made me think of all the fun we have had (even at work)! Like she said, she knows that we will still be getting together for scrapbooking, for those girl weekends and day trips that help to keep us sane! Her retirement will just give us another reason for the group to plan something fun for/with her! We all love Chris :)

Family Fun Christmas Eve

Here are more photos of our family on Christmas Eve. The food, the music, the games, the gifts and the laughter contribute to the good time we have together as a family. The only piece missing was the Ramos Family.

The Gavigan Elves

There was a time at Christmas when my mother was decorating that she would use these four elves. One for each of us (Diane, Regina, Michael and Nancy). This past Christmas, 2009, Regina found them at mom's and gave each of us "our elf". What a crazy, thoughtful gift. It sure did bring back memories. Thanks Regina!

Christmas Eve Fun

What a wonderful memory for Melanie. Sharing her time with her Great-Aunt Gina and her Great-Grandmother (we call her Gigi) on Christmas Eve. It is so important and special that Melanie has the good fortune to have all these people in her life.

Birds of a Feather

Here we are at one of my get togethers! I love having people over for laughs and good times. It's always nice to see each other outside of our usual workplace. Here are our friends the Haines and Drummonds, all great people!

O Christmas Tree!

Christmas Eve 2009, this year we went to my brother's home (Mike and Michelle Gavigan) for the family gathering. Since they didn't have a tree, we brought materials for Melanie to "create" the Christmas Tree. She had fun decorating and then displaying her "tree". This was a great idea, when you're going out of town just create your own tree!
