Holiday Events

The cookie party was scaled down this year but was just as yummy as always. We missed Emily’s iced sugar cookies but she is forgiven as she is in Bangkok on business.

Mom joined me for my P.E.O. chapter’s annual brunch at Andres on the plaza. Fifteen of us enjoyed yummy food and fabulous dessert!!!

Tim celebrated the big 5-0 on the 17th. Cousin, Jennie Byrnes, made his cookies (she is starting a baking business and does a fabulous job).

Fall semester was completed and we were blessed to have Shelby home for an entire month over Christmas (although she did work a lot of hours so was quite busy). Brenton and Cady only got home for a quick two day visit as both were working in Tulsa but we managed to pack in a lot of quality time into those days.


Mom and Dad joined us for Christmas dinner and gift opening. Martha and Larry had commitments in TN so couldn’t make it this year (I did so miss our New Year’s hike). Tom is still in the nursing home recovering from his car accident so was not able to join us either. We had a great dinner though and all the kids got to visit their Grandpa Byrnes before returning to school.
