FAMILY simply being together and snuggling, Hawaii/Kauai vacation with Grandma Georgie, saddened by our Loss of Grandma Peggy in November, still moments watching the waves crash and sunset at the beach.

On the Red Carpet with Grandma Peggy in celebration of her father's work at the Pantages in the 30's & 40's when she would go there after school to wait for him to get off work.
Have a blessed and Merry Christmas until He comes again!
